Every crime is unique, but I think a lot of criminal behavior boils down to the inability to constructively interact with a world that often feels like it's fighting back. I wonder if prisoners participating in the design of their spaces would in itself have a rehabilitative effect. By that I mean, instead of pre-installing shelves (which soon becomes an entitlement) so they don't have to build shelves out of cigarette cartons (which is a small way of working against/around the system), keep prisoners in the loop while improving their spaces over time.
