The 7th issue of JUSTICE TRENDS Magazine has been published on a brand-new and optimised website. There are plenty of new exclusive interviews with correctional leaders from around the world and articles on topics that spark interest from prison and probation stakeholders globally.
JUSTICE TRENDS Magazine 7th edition focuses on the new challenges and opportunities for correctional facilities globally in the context of the COVID-19 pandemic. All interviews in this edition provide important inputs on this matter, spanning numerous countries, as well as the measures implemented in different jurisdictions amid the public health crisis.
The Editorial of the latest JUSTICE TRENDS Magazine, written by its Director, Pedro das Neves, urges us to reflect on several long-awaited changes in correctional systems around the world, which were accelerated by the onset of the pandemic.
So, the JUSTICE TRENDS Magazine Director highlights that:
“We must find the time to reflect on how the use of alternatives to incarceration may endure beyond the crisis period. Find the time to rethink existing detention regimes and conditions or imagine new futures adopting new ways of working and working together. Find the time to reflect on embracing technology and the challenges of digitisation (for some) or digital transformation (for others). Don’t we do this, and we would have lost the great opportunity that emerged from chaos.”

Experts Panel – “The New European Bauhaus: an opportunity to revisit the way we think about prisons”
In the scope of the Experts Panel set by Pedro das Neves and Ana Maria Evans, this issue gathers the insightful perspectives of Correctional specialists, namely Robert Boraks, Hans Meurisse, Marayca Lopez, Are Høidal, Pia Puolakka, Steve Carter, and Steven Van de Steene, about the New European Bauhaus. The latter is an initiative of the European Commission towards a new living movement based on sustainability, inclusiveness, aesthetics, and climate protection.
The main goal of the New European Bauhaus is to accelerate the transition to green and inclusive urban, professional, industrial, and market models. Hence, the invited experts to this panel speak their minds on what this initiative could bring new to the Criminal Justice sector in Europe and beyond, including comprehensive innovations towards more dignified, inclusive, and sustainable prison and probation organisations.
