'The Learning Prison' takes you on a virtual tour of a men's prison for the modern age. It serves as a critical examination of where current systems for punishment & rehabilitation are failing.

Integral to the effectiveness of The LP is that it is not a deterministic, prefabricated building that insists upon a theorised outcome. Instead, it exists in a state of constant incompleteness. It is the prisoners, by taking on a trade and a role, that make the prison work. They are equipped to do so by attending the 'Four Corners Learning Centre' at the LP's epicentre, named after its coverage of four major industries. Here they learn to build, manage & maintain The LP. They live constantly with choices and the consequences of those choices.

They are socially dependant, choosing upon arrival a partner with whom to build, share, fabricate and position their modular dwellings. Lethargy and gang-like hierarchies only serve to harm the wellbeing of all inmates in The LP, herein lays the peer-led motivation.

Inmates learn to analyse their selves that they might come to terms with hardships, form lasting social relationships and reach a level of maturity whereby a life of crime is left behind; all the while learning new skills and engaging in new-found interests.
