This Ten-point plan is designed to support policy makers and practitioners in involving people with lived experience of the criminal justice system in reform efforts. With a focus on fragile and conflict-affected settings, it is based on the fact that people with lived experience bring unique insights and expertise to reform efforts.
The plan includes strategies for addressing stigma, ensuring safety and wellbeing and promoting goal-oriented involvement. It draws on PRI’s initiatives in Armenia, Indonesia and Uganda, highlighting the importance of diverse representation and trauma-informed approaches.
This resource is essential for organisations and policymakers aiming to incorporate the valuable perspectives of people with lived experiences in criminal justice reform initiatives.
