CEP and EuroPris, the two network organisations gathering probation and prison services from across Europe, invite you to participate in the Workshop on Transition from Prison to Probation: Continuity of Care and Control which will take place on 2 and 3 December 2025 in Barcelona, Catalonia-Spain.
The workshop will bring together professionals working primarily within prison and probation services who accompany the offenders in the process of reintegration into society from the day one of their sentence.
Objectives of the workshops are:
- to improve cooperation between prison and probation staff and impact of their work;
- to present good examples of continuity of care and control on transition from prison to probation including understanding the roles of care (rehabilitation) and control (supervision);
- to discuss the challenges with high-risk offenders, elderly persons and how to provide coordinated measures to contribute to successful transition, rehabilitation and reintegration (early release schemes, preventive detention etc);
- to learn the role of trauma-informed homes in supporting high-risk people during the critical transition from prison to community life;
- to show how the restorative justice practices can be included;
- to share good practices and discuss programs and initiatives (including medical, mental health, addiction, and other rehabilitation needs) that have proven successful in reducing recidivism and supporting the successful transition of individuals into society.
Target group
- Probation and prison staff;
- Social workers and NGO staff working inside prison, in probation and in the community;
- Restorative justice and victim support services;
- Other key criminal justice professionals.
