On 12th January 2024, an International Prison Policy Workshop was organised by the Jesuit Centre for Faith and Justice for a closed group of policymakers, prison staff, academics, prison oversight bodies, chaplains, and civil society organisations. Its origin centred on a need to create a space to reflect on the consequences of imprisonment on families; to reimagine what may possible in relation to the imprisonment of women; and to explore new ways of thinking about prison policy more broadly.  The workshop consisted of three papers addressing female sentencing, trauma-informed prisons and abolitionist thought, followed by extensive discussion. The presenters included: - Dr Shona Minson (University of Oxford); - Dr Anna Schliehe (University of Bonn/University of Trier); - Dr David Scott (Open University).

    David Scott - Dissenting Voices, Subversive Knowledges and an Abolitionist Imagination

    Dr Scott took abolitionist approaches as his starting point and explored radical alternatives to current penal policy. Furthermore, he explored what this approach might look like in Ireland and emphasised the value in looking towards dissenting voices in Irish history as a guidepost to shape an organic development of Irish abolitionist thought and practice. He emphasised why we need to radically reimagine a different future if we want to create a more just world.

    Anna Schliehe - Female Imprisonment and "Trauma-Informed" Prisons

    Dr Schliehe’s presentation explored women’s imprisonment, the unique harms for women in prison, and trauma informed practices in prisons. With a background in human geography, her research aims to understand, through the lens of the unique challenges women face in prison, if prisons can truly be “trauma informed” through analysing the implementation of trauma informed practices and training.  Slides and more workshop outputs can be found at: https://www.jcfj.ie/research/international-prison-policy-workshop/

    Shona Minson - The Disruption of Women's Imprisonment: Prison Sentences, Negative Consequences and Non-Carceral Alternatives

    Dr Minson’s paper explored the imprisonment of women in two key ways: first, through highlighting the disruption it has on women and their families, especially children; and second, through elucidating ways in which we can disrupt these harmful cycles of punishment and trauma.  Slides and more workshop outputs can be found at: https://www.jcfj.ie/research/international-prison-policy-workshop/
