Investigation of Effects of Natural Lighting on the Well-Being of Inmates in the Design of a Juvenile Correction Center, Lagos State, Nigeria

Abstract

In this paper, I ask whether the admission of light truly affects the inmates of a juvenile correction center in Lagos state. This is an important question to address as it brings to exposure and ascertains the quality of living that inmates are afforded. In juvenile institutions, utilizing natural light has purposes beyond energy conservation or code compliance. In order to successfully reintegrate young criminals into society, juvenile institutions are essential to their rehabilitation. The knowledge and training of the staff members, who look after and support the juvenile offenders, is essential to the efficiency of these institutions. This paper examines the importance of natural lighting in juvenile institutions, looking at important findings, comments, suggestions, and closing thoughts. It involves establishing an environment that is therapeutic, positive, and caring in order to promote growth. The significance of natural lighting in juvenile institutions and its advantages for both inmates and staff are discussed in this article.
