"I wonder what architects and designers are thinking about this
country's largest - and growing - civic architectural project,
the grim national prison program."

On their way to the bank? I'm sure many architects sustain their practices
with this kind of work. That's the dilemna James Mayo discusses in his
articles on an "enlightened" practice. I just heard a 1979 lecture by
George Nelson. To paraphrase: a truly humane architecture can only come
from a humane society. (In the meantime, what do we do?)
