Abstract:
UNICRI’s report “Shaping the Future of Digital Rehabilitation in Prisons” synthesises evidence and lessons from 2025 workshops in Thailand and Namibia on how digital technologies can responsibly support rehabilitation and reintegration in prisons. Bringing together policymakers, correctional leaders and practitioners, the project explored digital inclusion, ethical governance, staff engagement and alignment of digital tools with rehabilitative goals, highlighting growing readiness for digital transformation and outlining policy considerations and pilot pathways that safeguard human rights and strengthen reintegration outcomes.
