Inspiring, innovative, and engaging. As we conclude the 2024 edition of the TIC Conference, it's clear that the past two days have been filled with invaluable insights and ground-breaking discussions. From bridging the gap between IT and prison design, to exploring virtual reality as a tool for relapse prevention among persons with drug abuse, and delving into the intricacies of IT architecture within prisons - each session has been a testament to the important role of technology in reshaping prison practice. With the closing session reflecting on the wealth of topics covered throughout the conference, we're also very excited for the upcoming Innovation in Prisons Infrastructure Conference. We would like to also say a thank you to all the speakers, participants, and organisers for making TIC 2024 a resounding success! We look forward to continuing the conversation and driving positive change in the prison arena. #TIC2024 #DigitalRehabilitation

Reflecting on our insightful webinar held on April 11, which delved into the effective implementation of alternatives to pre-trial detention! Here are some key takeaways from the discussions: ⚖️ Complexity: Criminal justice systems vary, making it challenging to predict the impact of different measures on pre-trial detention and its alternatives due to their complexity. ⏳Time Limits: Legislation setting limits on remand duration incentivises efficient investigations and swift court procedures, potentially reducing the need for pre-trial detention. 🔄Available Alternatives: Europe offers various alternatives, including diversion for juveniles and treatment-linked cases (e.g., drug abuse). Other options like bail, travel bans, house arrest, regular reporting, and electronic monitoring are utilized, though to a limited extent. 🤝Trust: Building trust between agencies and the judiciary is vital. Training and exchanges between prosecutors, judges and correctional services enhances confidence in the alternatives to detention. 📱Technology: Advancements in tracking tech enhance the effectiveness of alternatives. Better risk assessment tools aid informed decisions, tailoring control levels case by case. Overall, the webinar highlighted considering system complexities, implementing time limits, expanding alternatives, fostering trust, and leveraging tech advancements to enhance effectiveness. Additionally, research support for decision-makers and practitioners is vital, providing evidence-based insights into alternative measures. Don't miss the chance to delve into the details!

Last week, EuroPris and the European Commission co-organised a vital expert meeting in Brussels to craft evaluation questions for the 2022 Commission Recommendation on Procedural Rights of Suspects and Accused Persons in pre-trial detention. This gathering brought together legal experts and practitioners to develop key questions crucial for implementing these standards. With 18 sections focusing on detention conditions, the recommendation emphasises mutual recognition and cooperation among EU countries to streamline processes such as European arrest warrants and prisoner transfers, ensuring greater efficiency and consistency. The session, hosted by the European Commission, saw participation from esteemed organisations including the Council of Europe, CPT, and the Fundamental Rights Agency. Representatives from EuroPris members enriched discussions, guided by facilitator Dirk van Zyl Smit, aimed at enhancing cross-border cooperation and fundamental rights. As we prepare for all EU member states to respond to these criteria later this year, this collaborative effort signifies a significant stride toward justice, fairness, and solidarity across Europe!
