Share
Cuban Artist Rodolfo Peraza's new project is titled JailHead: The Internet Prison, and it is based on Presidio Modelo Prison, is a former “model prison” of Panopticon design, located on the Isla de la Juventud in Cuba, built between 1926 and 1931, during the repressive regime of Gerardo Machado. As Peraza writes, "Built after the notorious penitentiary in Joliet, Illinois, Presidio Modelo was considered the definitive example of efficient design, as up to six thousand prisoners could be watched and controlled with a minimum of staff, but it soon became infamous for unprecedented levels of corruption."
