Technology in prisons has seen rapid development in the last years: internet access to prisoners, e-health and e-learning for prisoners, use of mobile devices in prison, biometrics, video-conferences and much more.

EuroPris is for the 6th time organising a workshop on ICT in prisons. This time the theme is ‘The Inmate’s Digital Journey – Current and Future Solutions’.

It is planned that the event will take place in person, 5 – 6 April 2022 in Istanbul, Turkey. The workshop will start on Tuesday, April 5th at 09:00 TRT and end close on Wednesday, April 6 at 13:00 TRT. The workshop will be followed by a visitation to the Maltepe Campus Prison, which consists of one open prison, one juvenile prison and 3 L-type closed prisons.
