Thanskgiving is a very special day for a large part of the country’s inhabitants, as it is the ideal date to thank, reconcile and give second chances, as happened with the socialite Kim Kardashian and with Tristan Thompson, her ex-brother-in-law, who took time out of their busy schedules to visit and share a meal with the young people who are detained at the camp kilpatrickin Santa Monica, California.
The prison, which became famous for its sports program that sought to rehabilitate the young people incarcerated there and which inspired the filming of the American football movie ‘Gridiron Gang’, opened its doors in the 1960s, but over the years it underwent a drastic transformation, since July 2017 it acquired its current image.
Until before its reconstruction, the prison, which is also famous for its therapeutic support, was in ruins and had barrack-style cells, which led the authorities to give it a new face in search of dignifying confinement, since it has the task of being an exemplary prison in its post-incarceration success rate and, consequently, in reducing recidivism.
Contrary to what happened with other prisons, at Camp Kilpatrick there is no overcrowding or other inhumane conditions inside its cells. It has a total of six cabins with private modules and a capacity to house up to 24 young people.
In addition to the cells, the prison designed by DRL Group and which stands out for its glass walls, has a reception, a waiting room, a command post, administrative offices, housing for staff, a kitchen, a areas for job training, with a laundry area, with a gym and with multiple spaces that can function for integration, coexistence or reintegration activities.
The gym, like other spaces in the detention center, can fulfill a double function and become an amphitheater when the occasion so warrants.
Outside it has extensive green areas, with a patio, with a basketball hoop and spectacular views of the mountain that watches over the place.
