The Hidden Epidemic: Organised Crime in Prisons and the Threat to Societal Safety

Violent extremism and the infiltration of organised crime within prisons threaten the very essence of correctional facilities. Prisons, rather than rehabilitating offenders, often become training grounds for further criminal activity. Ignoring this threat is not an option. Proactive, comprehensive strategies are vital to prevent our prisons from becoming hostages of crime. In this edition, we share expert perspectives and insights from decision-makers facing these challenges, and what results were achieved through the strategies adopted in different jurisdictions.

Pretrial detention as “ultima ratio”: an imperative for Criminal Justice Systems

Often fuelled by a punitive social climate, there are frequent calls to increase incarceration and build more prisons. Even if urgently needed in some countries to replace sometimes very old, outdated, and degraded prison infrastructure, building more prisons can be an unreasonable solution. Alternative measures are essential. We interviewed magistrates, correctional leaders, and NGO representatives to understand their work in modernising justice systems and their views on reducing pretrial detention. We also present noteworthy cases from different continents on how jurisdictions are reducing pretrial detention. Read More

Where does your jurisdiction stand in the Digital Transition/ Transformation journey?

The introduction of digital technologies in your agency should not be left in the hands of IT professionals or even tusted and experienced practitioners. Technical and operational expertise are key, but a future envisioning strategic approach will definitely make a difference.  To help build structured digital transformation efforts, we bring you the expert's opinions and research, the lived experience of decision-makers and brief case presentations on how different jurisdictions have adopted specific technology solutions benefiting incarcerated persons and staff.
