The International Corrections and Prisons Association (ICPA) and the European Organisation of Prison and Correctional Services (EuroPris) are holding two international conferences on technology and correctional planning and design in Istanbul, Türkiye, in April 2024.

In a ground-breaking initiative, the International Corrections and Prisons Association (ICPA) continues to lead in influencing and promoting best practices and guidelines worldwide to ensure the protection of human rights and enhance the conditions of prisons and correctional facilities.

The International Corrections and Prisons Association (ICPA) held its first-ever technology conference in Australia, and it was a resounding success. The conference brought together close to 300 experts and professionals from around the world to discuss cutting-edge innovations in the field of corrections technology.

The ICPA is pleased to share the recently released toolkit provided by the Council of Juvenile Justice Administrators (CJJA) and the Annie E. Casey Foundation. This toolkit provides juvenile justice agency leaders and facility practitioners with an overview of research and information to help inform their work with gang-involved youth residing in custodial settings.

Call for Papers is now open for Edition #16 ''Reforming Corrections Through Technology” - submit before 15 August 2023! 

All attendees from the CRS2023 can now access and view all the presentations and pictures, and read rapporteurs' summaries of each workshop.

ICPA is offering a free article from the popular Advancing Corrections Journal to mark International Day of Families.

We welcome Fatih Güngör, the Deputy General Director of Türkiye's Directorate General of Prisons and Detention House, to the ICPA's European Chapter Board. We look forward to working with you and supporting the advancement of correctional practice worldwide!

The Inter-American Development Bank (IDB), through its Innovation in Citizen Services Division, and Rutgers University, are excited to present the open call to identify research proposals that support the improvement of prison management in Latin America and the Caribbean (LAC) with a focus on rehabilitation and reduction of recidivism.
