Heading towards 2021

The impact of the pandemic on the prisoner’s lives of prisoners will persist in 2021 The coverage of the consequences in the Coronavirus: Prison Fever news feed therefore continues. This work will be accompanied by several updates and new country profiles, the publication of several large-scale comparative studies and the development of tailor-made information packages for field and research partners This will be an opportunity to put our expertise and our methodology at the service of collective projects.

The preparatory work undertaken with a consortium of experts for the creation of a prison life index will be accelerated with the recruitment of a doctoral candidate and with the launch of a crowdfunding campaign The support for the project by the Ministry for Europe and Foreign Affairs confirms the interest of public authorities.

To support the current growth of Prison Insider, a strategic production is underway with an external consultancy This supports the path towards a serene development and additional financial sustainability

We project that 2021 will be an opportunity to strengthen our partnerships with Lyon public authorities from the Ville and the Métropole, with international foundations and institutions, and with the perspective of the multi-year program supported by the French Development Agency We are on the way to becoming a key player in making a significant impact in improving the detention conditions around the world.
