SECOND WORLD CONFERENCE ON PROBATION PENAL REFORM INTERNATIONAL July 14 – 16 2015 PENAL REFORM INTERNATIONAL

PENAL REFORM INTERNATIONAL An independent non-governmental organisation promoting fair, effective and proportionate responses to criminal justice problems. Promotes and implements international human rights standards Advocacy, practical programmes and training Information resources on PRI website: www.penalreform.org

PRI AIMS AND VALUES Reduce the unnecessary use of imprisonment Support non-custodial sanctions Prevent torture and abuse Implement sensitive approach to women and children

PRISON OVERCROWDING AND REDUCING CONGESTION Prison overcrowding is a problem all over the world Causes of overcrowding: high rates of pre-trial detention and over-use of imprisonment as the default setting of the penal system Alternative sanctions:- Probation – a sentence requiring supervision by a probation officer in the community Community service – the offender is ordered to carry out a number of hours of unpaid work for the benefit of the community

Benefits of alternatives to prison Prisons as school for crime Without support people will continue to re-offend Prisons are damaging for prisoners’ mental and physical health Impact on families with a parent in prison

Alternatives to detention in East Africa – overview of recent developments Partnering with probation and community services in Kenya, Tanzania and Uganda Funding by UK Aid Reviewing the use of probation and community service orders Trends and Challenges report 2012 Findings and follow-up

Recommendations for action Training new magistrates and judges Identifying suitable candidates for alternatives Improving implementation and enforcement of orders Gaining public support

Probation and Community Service in East Africa Kenya: Greatest use of alternative sentences and the best developed infrastructure. Between 2005 – 2010, 97% community service orders were completed successfully. Uganda: Probation is only available for children but community service orders are available for adults. Tanzania: Probation and community service orders are available on a similar model to Kenya (but fewer resources).
