High Risk Offenders in the Dutch Prison System (PID208)

3.30pm – 4pm EDT, 23 October 2023 ‐ 30 mins

Workshop Session

In the last years, the Netherlands has seen a rise in organised crime and consequently, the population of high risk offenders in the Dutch prison system has increased. However, the threat these offenders pose for the safety and security of society does not end with their incarceration.
This presentation delves deeper into the ways that the Dutch prison system is dealing with this category of prisoners; both in policy and in practice. The purpose of this presentation is to highlight the challenges as well as share lessons the Dutch Custodial Institutions Agency has learned over the last years.
