Decommissioned penal buildings have become a nascent form of heritage hotels. However, they remain under-researched within tourism and hospitality research despite the growing literature concerning prison tourism. While current discourse remains conflicted over the use of penal heritage for tourist experiences, this research note applies adaptive reuse theory to explore the use and management of penal heritage for tourist accommodation. In doing so, this study responds to calls for further research into heritage hotels, and specifically penal heritage buildings used in non-museum functions. Site visits and interviews informed the study's findings, which revealed a range of influences for how penal heritage is used and managed through adaptive reuse, thereby demonstrating the potential of penal heritage hotels to serve as sites of conscience.

刑罚遗产酒店作为良心场所？：通过适应性再利用探索刑罚遗产的使用和管理


退役的监狱建筑已成为历史酒店的新生形式。然而，尽管有关监狱旅游的文献越来越多，但在旅游和酒店研究领域，它们的研究仍然不足。虽然目前关于使用刑罚遗产进行旅游体验的讨论仍然存在冲突，但本研究报告应用适应性再利用理论来探索刑罚遗产用于旅游住宿的使用和管理。在此过程中，本研究响应了对遗产酒店，特别是用于非博物馆功能的刑事遗产建筑进行进一步研究的呼吁。实地考察和访谈为研究结果提供了信息，研究结果揭示了通过适应性再利用对刑罚遗产的使用和管理产生的一系列影响，从而证明了刑罚遗产酒店作为良心场所的潜力。
