In collaboration with Justice Reform Initiative and Penal Reform International, EuroPris was hosting a webinar on Thursday 1 December 2022, to address the use of incarceration as a measure to solve problems often caused by social inequalities, including limited access to welfare services such as education and drug treatment.
“Jailing is failing” is the tagline of the Australian NGO Justice Reform Initiative, a campaign organisation founded to actively reduce the incarceration rates in Australia. The initiative is a reaction to the soaring numbers of persons being detained in Australian prisons. Over-use of prisons is harmful to not only those in prison, but also to their families and the broader community.
Penal Reform International (PRI) works globally to promote criminal justice systems that uphold human rights for all and do no harm. In a recently signed partnership agreement EuroPris and PRI agree to jointly promote improved detention standards and non-discriminatory justice systems. The webinar is part of that collaboration.
