Innovation in Prisons Infrastructure Conference (IPIC)

Join us and the European Organisation of Prison and Correctional Services (EUROPRIS) in Istanbul from 24 – 26 April 2024, for the first global Innovative Prisons Infrastructure Conference (IPIC): ''Sustainable Planning and Design for Better Corrections'', hosted hosted by the Turkish Ministry of Justice and the General Directorate of Prisons and Detention Houses, and delivered in partnership by the International Corrections and Prisons Association (ICPA) and EuroPris. 
 
The planning and design framework has changed substantially during recent years. IPIC presents a new opportunity to bring experts in the field of prison planning and design together to improve our understanding of how modern planning and design knowledge can be seen by correctional professionals as a driver for change.
 
Through IPIC, participants will connect and share insights, lessons learned, and information relating to new developments and projects where innovative design solutions are used to help corrections to address issues facing prisons and probation today. The conference will also provide significant networking opportunities to build connections and allow participants to improve their understanding of the use and implementation of advanced planning and design solutions.
 

Who should attend?

 
The Innovative Prisons Infrastructure Conference (IPIC) is a unique and invaluable opportunity designed specifically for a broad spectrum of professionals. Those working in the field of corrections, senior corrections officials, prison planners, architects, policymakers, social workers, and students in related fields, who are seeking to understand the complexities and innovative approaches in prison design and planning.
