Comodo is an Italian group of designers that offers design training to inmates, having recruited the inmates who work in carpentry a prison Spoleto as “consultants.” (Said high-security prison also makes furniture for all of Italy’s penitentiaries.) The result of this collaboration is Cibic Workshop‘s Freedom Room - a prototype micro-dwelling space designed by Italian prisoners.

From the project’s website:
Freedom Room could be imagined also as a starting point to imagine new Italian prisons’ cells, or as a low cost hotel room or a spread youth hostel, or even as the answer to new low cost housing demands.
