Abstract

This article critically analyzes the Over-Amstel Penitentiary Institution, which represents a unique moment in prison architecture. At that time the principles of domestic design merged with institutional ones for detention houses, reflecting the intertwining of the two. The prison was intended to foster humane living conditions, a vision in keeping with the ideals and policies of the post-war Welfare State.
