Sittard Prison

The architectural concept of Sittard Prison is the atrium. The residential areas of this institution are assembled in the shape of a cross and surrounded by a rectangular arrangement of buildings that house the other facilities. The four inner courtyards created by the cross-like design are used for sports and leisure. The buildings do not completely surround the courtyards, however, so a double wall was constructed in some places, as with Hoogeveen Prison, to complete the periphery.
