Save the date
Penal Reform International with the support of the prisonDEATH team are organising an online workshop for members and staff of detention monitoring bodies to improve awareness, data, monitoring, reporting and follow-up on prison deaths.
The workshop will be held online in English on Thursday 17 October 2024, 10.00 – 13.00 CET.

Mortality rates are up to 50% higher for people in prison than for people in the wider community. People die in prison as a result of a wide range of causes including torture and other forms of violence, self-harm and environmental factors like overcrowding, poor conditions of detention and inadequate access to healthcare. This raises serious concerns for the protection of human rights, public health and prison management.
Join us for this practical workshop online where you will gain
- Knowledge on the issues at stake with deaths in prison, including the common shortcomings in reporting, recording and investigating deaths in prison
- Practical knowledge and tools to monitor, report and follow-up on issues with deaths in prisons
