Abstract
Equidistant from one of Durban’s most prestigious suburbs, Westville – to the North; and the highly politicised land that is now the informal settlement, Cato Manor – to the South, lies Westville Correctional Facility. To the East, the Correctional Centre is mirrored, in a bizarre postmodern twist, by the enormous homage to consumer capitalism ‘the Westville Pavilion’ (shopping centre), known affectionately as ‘The Pav’. Architectural studies (Slessor, 1995) have noted uncanny structural similarities between the Correctional Centre and the shopping mall.
