About the WayOut project
The WayOut project – Integrated Exit Programme for Prisons and Probation – is fundamentally aimed at giving an outline and important insights for building a common framework to evaluate exit programmes based on proven effectiveness approaches.
Ultimately the project is improving and facilitating the implementation of exit programmes across the Criminal Justice system, namely in prison and probation settings. Hence, this project responds to one of the European Union’s security concerns: the problem of radicalisation leading to violent extremism.
