The question how can the transitional process from prison to society be improved, is central to the thesis question: can architecture with its proven ability to create places that improve learning, healing, and productivity play an active role in the transtional process by responding to a proposed social program instead of simply providing shelter. 2016-10-11 English text University of Cincinnati / OhioLINK http://rave.ohiolink.edu/etdc/view?acc_num=ucin1470043128 http://rave.ohiolink.edu/etdc/view?acc_num=ucin1470043128 unrestricted This thesis or dissertation is protected by copyright: all rights reserved.
