Visiting a Parent in Prison

About

Workshop tools designed to support a dialog between child and prison

Visiting a Parent in Prison is a proposal for the redesign of child visitor environments in Swedish prisons. Developed through discussion and workshops with the children of incarcerated parents, Visiting a Parent in Prison aims to create a reassuring atmosphere that the children feel is currently lacking. By constructing a comforting and positive environment through playful colours and materials, the design proposes to introduce small play zones in waiting areas. Visiting a Parent in Prison hopes to be the first in a series of shifts that improve the experience children who visit prisons.
