Who benefits from prison?

Prison Insider: On Saturday 29 June 2024, Prison Insider hosted a workshop on the human and social cost of prison in Haiti, Tunisia, Morocco, and France, as part of Concertina, Coming together to explore imprisonment (Rencontres estivales autour des enfermements).

Exploring the links between poverty and prison were: Arnaud Dandoy: Head of Research and Knowledge Management at the EUROMED office of Avocats Sans Frontières (ASF) in Tunisia, and cofounding member of the Centre for Research and Exchange on Security and Justice (Centre de recherche et d’echange sur la securite et la justice, CRESEJ); Fatna El Bouih, President of Relais Prison Société in Morocco; and Marion Moulin, Executive Director of Association Possible, who also coordinated the report Prison: At the Bottom of the Social Ladder (Au dernier barreau de l’échelle sociale: la prison) by Secours catholique and Emmaüs. Florence Laufer, Director of Prison Insider, moderated this conversation. Highlights from the discussion are transcribed here.
