Advancing Corrections Journal - Edition #11 - Envisioning Corrections in 2030 - Where Should the Evidence Take Us (ACJ11-A001)

Its two key elements are the reduction in the use of imprisonment through the creation of a better balance between community based and custodial measures; and the development of a diversity of institutions more able to address the range of needs experienced by people in prison and to offer meaningful opportunities for desistance from crime. It focusses on the role that corrections staff can play in bringing about and implementing such a vision, arguing that in the poorest countries more fundamental questions need to be asked about whether the development of prisons offers the most sustainable correctional future.
