Prisons and the criminal justice system

The last two years have brought the fragility of human existence into sharp relief. This conference is happening as we emerge from a time of intense uncertainty. Governments, civil society and communities face formidable problems and difficult choices that could have enduring repercussions for justice. This conference will provide an opportunity to reimagine how the penal system should work. It will bring together contributions from academics and researchers, practitioners, policy makers and other experts from different fields and disciplines to explore crime, justice and the human condition, and think about how the criminal justice system can work.
