Background
The judicial strategy to combat violent radicalisation and terror-related crimes or illegal hate speech in prison are at the heart of the J-SAFE project, funded by the EU’s JUST-AG-2016-03 scheme (Grant Agreement Nº 763714).
About this webinar
The Webinar forms part of the J-SAFE dissemination strategy to communicate the project’s results to relevant stakeholders. It comes at the end of the project and forms part of a sequence of three online events that form, all together, the Final Conference of the project. Each Webinar focuses on one of the three main results of the project: VR trainings, Innovative technologies in prison, and Guidelines to support the decision making of the judicial staff.
This Webinar on “New Technological Solutions to Assist Prevention and Investigations in Prison” aims to raise debate on the profound change that digital and communication technologies have brought to the world of security and prevention and how they have led to solutions that revolutionized the operational practices of police forces and practitioners.
Due to the COVID-19 situation, the event will be held online through the platform GoToWebinar. It will take place on the 16th of December from 10.00AM to 11.30AM CET, for a total duration of 1h and a half. Targeted invitations will be sent to key professionals in the field, yet the conference is open for registration.

The use of pioneering tech solutions in correctional practices presents a relevant challenge that should be met by innovative proposed solutions and strategies
In order to provide effective and sustainable results, an intensified and multidisciplinary cooperation among the different sectors involved is necessary for the design of penitentiary management models and strategies in line with technological evolution. Allow us to consider some examples:

Digital forensics.
Another area of great interest is that of drones. Using these, illegal deliveries and other illegal activities take place in prison, such us the drop-off of money and drugs, gang communication, planning escapes or attacks within the facilities or across them, coordinating other serious crimes, or gathering intelligence on prison staff. In January 2019, Interpol reported to all Ministries of Justices the emergence of the risk posed by Unmanned Aerial Systems (UAS) being used with increasing frequency to illegally transport contraband goods into prisons. The UAS devices are being used by individuals or organized groups outside of the institutions to collude with people inside the system to deliver the payload of contraband. This is achieved by attaching a payload to the device using either a tether or an affixed remote release system.
Dynamic security & offender engagement.
Where previous examples show how new technologies form new risks and threats for correctional security it should be taken in account that the absence of access to the digital world equally creates risks and threats. While one or two decades ago the majority of correctional processes and services could easily be delivered in an analogue, offline and paper-driven way, this is no longer possible today. To combat violent radicalisation, terror-related crimes as well as support ex-offenders to desist from new criminal activities in prisons it is important to focus on the total environment and culture of prisons as their impact on desistence with the importance of self-efficacy, self-empowerment, opportunities, decisions making and identity.
