Een nieuwe gevangenis op grond van nieuwe ideeën

Abstract

In 1862 a new prison is built in Ghent, in the neighbourhood of the old provincial jailhous near the Coupure. The new building of the 'Nieuwewandeling' is designed by architect Derré, according to the ideas of Edouard Ducpétiaux. The chapter comments both the architecture and the penitentiary ideas of the 19th century
