The Jesuit Centre for Faith and Justice Ireland along with the European Scribani Network are pleased to announce the Conference: Re-imagining Imprisonment in Europe, Common Challenges, Diverse Policies and Practice which will be held in Trinity College, Dublin, Ireland from 5 to 7 September 2012.
The aim of the conference is to analyse some of the key features of imprisonment throughout Europe today, including the political, social and economic forces shaping prison policy and practice, and to imagine what future imprisonment might look like – in terms of prison policy, prison population size and prison conditions – by generating a new narrative of how imprisonment might be framed within a new vision and set of values.
The Conference will open at 5.30pm on the evening of Wednesday 5 September and finish on Friday 7 September 2012 at 6.00pm.
On Thursday 6 and Friday 7 the conference will open at 9.00am and run until 5.30 /6.00pm each day featuring lectures and presentations from leading academics, practitioners and policy makers as well as a number of parallel sessions.
