There apparently will be no parole for Western Penitentiary. Despite at least two proposals for the old North Side prison’s redevelopment, the state is moving ahead with plans to raze the buildings at the site.

Social reintegration: this is the main goal of the APAC prison model, that involves the community, promoting interaction to foster a mutual relationship and understanding. AVSI has been working with this system since 2009, stressing and demonstrating how getting the civil society involved in this process is fundamental to promote justice, #HumanRights and rehabilitation.

Today I had an opportunity to visit Jiřice Prison and open facility. Together with the head of the International Relations Department, Prison Director and expert from Prison Service of Czech Republic we discussed Czech experience and penitentiary system advancements, risk evaluation, and management processes, rehabilitation and resocialization programs, and exchanged interesting observations and experience. Within the framework of the visit, I also had the chance to see the administrative process of the penitentiary institution, visit accommodations, administrative buildings and garden. #justice #penitentiary #probation #CzechRepublic See less

Sociólogo - Asesor legal en Secretaría de Educación de la Nación / docente / ensayista
This article reflects on the transformative potential of libraries in prison as educational policy in penal institutions in Argentina (2007-2015). It considers the mentioned educational policy as a dispositif of subjective resistance considering apparatus as a key conceptual discovery in the theory of Michel Foucault. The article also explains the institutional framework and stages that needed to be created in order for the National Ministry of Education to intervene in the Penitentiary System. It ends with a briefly exposition of the paradigm by which the National Coordination Modality of Education in Context of Confinements of the National Ministry of Education of Argentina bases its actions, purposes and political engagement with disciplinary power. #education #prisons

Executive Director på European Organisation of Prison and Correctional Services (EUROPRIS)
Ripple effects. EuroPris, CEP and EFRJ make up the partners of the Criminal Justice Platform Europe. As organisations we support each others agendas and promote the holistic approaches to criminal justice. Earlier this year we organised a Crossover Training in cooperation with Netherlands Helsinki Committee and European Penitentiary Training Academies Network (EPTA). We focused on topics relevant for all three sectors: prison, probation and restorative justice. Shortly after the event in The Hague, we were contacted by the Italian participants, telling us that they planned a similar training on national level. To support this initiative - organised by Benedetta Venezia and her colleagues - me, Jana Spero and Edit Törzs opened their event by presenting the platform and our respective organisations. It is most satisfying when your work inspires to this kind of initiatives, taking a concept to multiply it on national or local levels. Thanks to Benedetta and colleagues for organising and to Jana and Edit for great support and cooperation.
