JUSTICE TRENDS Magazine launches 12th edition: A deep dive into modernisation of prisons and probation systems

JUSTICE TRENDS Magazine has released its 12th edition, targeting decision-makers in the criminal justice sector. This edition is packed with valuable insights into the modernisation of prisons and probation systems worldwide.

The cover interview of this edition features Rob Jeffreys, President of the Correctional Leaders Association and Director of the Nebraska Department of Correctional Services, USA. Director Jeffreys provides a compelling discussion on how collaboration and evidence-based solutions are pioneering innovation within American correctional services. 

This edition also presents crucial insights from global policymakers such as Luis Cordero Vega, Minister of Justice and Human Rights of Chile, and Olena Vysotska, Deputy Minister of Justice of Ukraine. Their contributions offer a detailed look into the strategic reforms in Chile and the resilience and reform of Ukraine’s justice system amid the ongoing conflict.

Additionally, this edition includes interviews with correctional leaders from diverse regions including New Jersey (USA), Rio de Janeiro (Brazil), the Netherlands, Bulgaria, Australia, and Morocco, providing a comprehensive global perspective on the advancements and challenges in corrections.

The magazine features several notable contributors. Dr. Frank Porporino offers an in-depth article on advancing beyond evidence-based practices to create truly rehabilitative experiences in correctional settings, emphasising holistic approaches and supportive cultures. Dr. Danielle Rudes examines why reforms in community corrections often fail, highlighting that successful reform requires gaining the buy-in from those who implement it. Dr. Marayca López i Ferrer and Helena Pombares share their innovative approaches to prison design, blending trauma-informed and salutogenic principles to transform prisons into environments that promote healing and rehabilitation. Furthermore, insights from UNICRI’s latest report on ‘Digital Rehabilitation in Prisons’ demonstrate how digital technologies can revolutionise prisoner rehabilitation.

This edition also features additional contributions from our edition partners, offering a deep dive into how modernisation efforts across different facets of corrections are making justice systems more effective and humane.
