EuroPris, in collaboration with the Confederation of European Probation (CEP) and kindly hosted by the Federal Ministry of Justice of Austria, held a workshop addressing one of the most significant issues facing European prison systems today—Foreign National Offenders (FNOs). As migration and global political shifts continue to impact Europe, the number and proportion of FNOs in prisons are rising, bringing unique challenges to prison and probation services. That being said, an FNO in one country is a citizen imprisoned abroad in another. This dual perspective is central to the work of the FNPP Expert Group. This workshop was held from 29-30 October 2024, bringing together professionals from across Europe, including those in prison, probation, and NGOs, to engage in presentations, discussions, and knowledge-sharing on this increasingly important area of criminal justice policy.
