Abstract
Of all the influences on mankind, the environment
is one of the most bearing on him. The environment,
as defined by psychologists ranges from one's
immediate physical surroundings, e.g. buildings,
walls, colour of walls, to relationships with other
people. How one perceives and reponds to these
eventually moulds his character. Hence the objective
of this thesis is to invetigate into the effect of the
prison environment on convicted offenders with particular
reference to Nigeria.
In view of these, an attempt was made to discover
a more humane architectural approach to prison design
that would meet the requirements of the society i.e
reintegration and reformation of the inmate so as to
protect society. An extensive analysis of architecture
features, influences and effects of prison on
inmates psychologically, with the hope of designing a
prison that aids reformation.
