Did you know that the RNR model, or Risk-Need-Responsivity model, is a framework used in criminal justice and rehabilitation. It suggests that effective intervention with offenders involves assessing their risk of reoffending, targeting criminogenic needs (factors that contribute to criminal behavior), and delivering interventions that are responsive to individual differences and learning styles. It's time for prisons to really become restorative corrections.

It is always a positive to see investment in rehabilitation, no matter the scale.

The act of this referee was so symbolic. He ensured that the law was enforced. On the other hand, he first showed respect and empathy by recognizing that this is a player who had done something extremely remarkable for his country in the goal he scored and that was why he had to congratulate him first by the handshake and a tap on the body, before issuing the red card for the offence. This is what we want from our leaders. We want leaders who first recognize the plight of the people before punishment/correction. Leaders who have empathy, sympathy and celebrate the ingenuity of their people before punishing their offences. It is in the light of this logic, that some countries have correctional/reformation centres in place of prisons. Empathy is more impactful than always solely wielding the stick.

At the Police and Prisons Civil Rights Union (POPCRU), we continue to advocate for hiring more police officers to keep our communities safe. Additionally, police must be moved out of offices and desk jobs to patrol our streets, increase police visibility, and deter criminals.   Our high crime levels are unacceptable. As many as 6,228 people were violently murdered in the three months between April and June of this year alone – an average of 68 murders per day. Additionally, there were nearly 150,000 contact crimes, which include attempted murder and assault.   We must capacitate our police service with the necessary tools and resources to break the grip of lawlessness. This means more officers, enhanced training, the provision of better infrastructure and technological tools, and structural changes to better mobilise our resources.    #POPCRU #CrimePrevention #LawEnforcement #PublicSafety #SaferSA

Training differences "Isn't it fascinating how the training for police officers and corrections officers naturally diverges due to the distinct challenges they face? Yet, despite these differences, training academies often follow similar approaches for Defensive Tactics? Why is correctional training aligning with police procedures? It's intriguing how many in the public as well as Law Enforcement remain unaware of the unique experiences and responsibilities of corrections officers." Feel free to comment. How can we resolve this issue? Should MI’s from Corrections be training Corrections Officers?

Just 18 out of 117 prisons in England and Wales possess in-cell cabling. This is a huge barrier to effective rehabilitation as digital platforms become the norm for education, training, employment, and even maintaining relationships. Catch22 is calling for the Government to broaden access to technology in prisons for the use of education and rehabilitation, so that those in custody can develop essential digital skills, address criminogenic behaviours, and reduce reoffending.

The 'Justice digital revolution’ is well overdue. In the backdrop of a prison system bursting at the seams with capacity, this is needed more than ever. Risk-averse attitudes towards tech in prisons must be counterbalanced by understanding the rehabilitative benefit it could create. Finding secure solutions that allow digital tools to complement and enhance (but not replace) human support could be transformational for the sector and allow us to tackle the stubbornly high reoffending rates.

Absolutely, investing in education and training within the correctional environment is crucial. Not only does it provide inmates with the opportunity to acquire valuable skills and knowledge that can help them reintegrate into society upon release, but it also reduces recidivism rates. When individuals have access to education and training programs while incarcerated, they are better equipped to secure employment and contribute positively to their community's post-release. This investment benefits not only the individuals involved but also society as a whole, by promoting rehabilitation and reducing the likelihood of future criminal behavior. Florida's recognition of the value of education and training in this context is indeed a powerful reminder of the importance of such initiatives.
