Presidio Modelo Prison, Isla de Pinos, Cuba: A Historical Monument of Punitive Architecture This evocative image captures the General View of the Presidio Modelo Prison on the Isla de Pinos, now known as Isla de la Juventud, in Cuba. Built between 1926 and 1931, this prison was designed using the panopticon principle, a revolutionary concept promoted by the English philosopher Jeremy Bentham. The panopticon is a type of institutional building designed for the effect of constant surveillance, with its cells arranged around the circular perimeter and an observation point placed at the centre. The Presidio Modelo Prison held approximately 6000 prisoners during its operational years. The circular design allowed for maximum visibility and control, creating an atmosphere of constant surveillance and potential punishment. The site's historical significance is evident in its architectural design, which was far ahead of its time and influenced the development of modern penitentiary systems. Today, the Presidio Modelo Prison stands as a museum, preserving the history of Cuba's penal system and offering a glimpse into the past. The circular blocks, with their cells arranged around the perimeter, now serve as a reminder of the evolution of criminal justice and the importance of reflecting on our past. The site's transformation from a place of punishment to a historical and educational institution is a testament to the power of transformation and the enduring impact of architectural design on society.
