As part of the NPM Standards Project, an expert meeting on the prevention of violence in prisons was planned, in cooperation with the Austrian Ombudsman Board, from 6 to 7 May in Vienna. Due to the COVID-19 crisis and measures, the event had to be cancelled. It will now take place online.
Members from National Preventive Mechanisms of European Member States, researchers and practitioners will discuss how international prison standards in relation to violence reduction can be monitored and implemented better.
