UNODC Prison Reform and Alternatives to Imprisonment Concept Note
The purpose of this note is to outline how UNODC formulates and delivers technical assistance activities that will help countries to reform their prison systems in line with UN standards. Through its network of Field Offices, UNODC plays an important role in helping Member States to bring their prison systems closer to the requirements of international standards. The Office’s solid expertise in the area can be successfully extended to all countries and regions of the world. A number of projects have already been implemented and are in progress. This note takes stock of what has been achieved to date and indicates areas where UNODC expertise can pave the way for further programming opportunities throughout the world.
