PROGRAMMER - Bob Goble, CGA, Columbia, SC
Corrections Compendium, October 1998
“Peter Krasnow gives an in-depth look at both the variety of prison and jail design concepts and the numerous elements that make up these complicated facilities... I believe that Correctional Facility Design and detailing will become a useful resource not only to practitioners in the United States but also to planners and designers abroad.”

Peter Krasnow’s justice architecture mentor at Gruzen, 1974-1984
“I have long believed there is a great gap in the resource documents available to architects interested in correctional design and detailing. Your book has superbly filled that gap, and I must commend you on your efforts. The format you have chosen, the extent of detail, and the clarity of presentation make it easy to use the book...I can tell you that your book is well received here and in Great Britain.”

“I don’t see this book just as a textbook or reference guide, but as a reliable tool which can help calculate the cost and time that an architect, planner or designer puts into the concept that they have developed to suit a client’s philosophy.”

“This is a fantastic book for any Architect who has to get involved in designing Correctional type facilities. After the escape of Pablo Escobar, the head of Medelllin Drug Cartel, I was hired by the Minister of Justice in Colombia, SA as his Security Advisor. I had to utilize local architects tot design prisons and none of them had ever designed a prison before. Had Peter Krasnow’s book been available the, it would have made my life easier. Correctional Facility design and Detailing is a “must read” book for anyone involved in Corrections.”
