This is a podcast of the first part of the live stream of the IN-CJ Webinar on: ‘Digitisation and Human Rights in Prisons’.

With a panel of experts and practitioners we discussed how digital change in prisons has accelerated rapidly in 2020, and where it will take us in the coming year?  We asked what are the policy and practice challenge that are being faced by criminal justice advocates, managers and policymakers across Europe?

Key  presentations were from Rubikon, Czech Republic + Steven van de Steene, France + Victoria Knight, United Kingdom, which were followed by a Q&A Discussion
