Trauma-Informed Intelligence and System Reform in Mongolian Women’s Prisons (PID130)

1.30pm – 2pm GMT+03:00, 30 October 2025 ‐ 30 mins

Thematic Workshop Sessions

How can prison intelligence and trauma-informed practices work together to support reform? This presentation shares a case study from Mongolia’s largest women’s prison, where more than 40% of incarcerated individuals are repeat offenders. Using 2023–2024 data, we explore how early-warning indicators and behavioral intelligence uncovered unseen risks such as manipulation, informal power dynamics, and emotional instability.

In response, the General Executive Agency of Court Decision introduced a new intervention model combining intelligence gathering with mental health support and structured reintegration efforts. The approach links security staff with social workers and psychologists to provide shared insight into inmate behavior and long-term risk. This session will share key findings, practical tools, and lessons learned from applying a trauma-informed lens to prison intelligence. It will be especially useful to those working in similar environments seeking to improve safety, rehabilitation, and reintegration outcomes - while aligning with the Nelson Mandela Rules and other international standards.
