Reimagining The Jail from One Atlanta on Vimeo.
Check out the story in Fast Company today: This Atlanta jail will transform into a center for justice and equity. The article looks at how the project—which proposes to remove space for 1,300 inmates and replace it with services, reentry programs, classrooms, and an urban garden—is the latest work of reimagining the spaces of criminal justice by architect Deanna Van Buren of Designing Justice + Designing Spaces.
PKPR has represented Designing Justice + Designing Spaces (DJDS) since 2018, securing national and international media coverage that has established founder Deanna Van Buren as a visionary at the intersection of architecture and criminal justice reform. Our work has led to major features in The New York Times, Financial Times, and NBC News, as well as thought leadership placements in Politico, Stanford Social Innovation Review, and other policy-shaping outlets.
We’ve positioned DJDS as a go-to voice on the future of incarceration and restorative justice, securing interviews, op-eds, and speaking opportunities with top-tier media such as The Atlantic and Fast Company. These placements have helped influence key audiences, including policymakers, urban planners, and philanthropists.
By raising the visibility of DJDS’s mission to design alternatives to prison, PKPR has helped shift the national conversation around justice reform and expanded support for the organization’s pioneering work.
