UPCOMING EVENT

The abuse of custodial measures first of all determines prison overcrowding across Europe, that violates fundamental rights of individuals and compromises the mutual trust necessary to underpin judicial cooperation in Europe.
What is more, incarceration proves to be dysfunctional both to the rehabilitation of the offenders and to the prevention of recidivism.
The overall goal of the project is to promote the development and the implementation of alternatives to detention at a EU level, in order to reduce the disproportionate resort to incarceration by legislators and judicial authorities.
