Abolition, Reform and the Politics of Global Incarceration
- Description:
- The 13th Biennial International Conference on Penal Abolition is to be held over three days in Belfast on 23-25 June 2010. It will open at 10am on Wednesday 23rd in the Council Chamber, Lanyon Building at Queen’s University. On Friday 25th June it will move to the community and will end that evening with a buffet meal and a music session.
To keep costs manageable, accommodation and meals are not provided at the conference but there are affordable places to eat close by and we have provided a range of accommodation alternatives in the vicinity. Thus, there will be no registration fee. We request a contribution to the final evening’s function.
There will be no prison visit because we know it would be stage-managed. However, we will be showing two films during the conference: Mickey B a contemporary adaptation of Macbeth set in Maghaberry Prison and acted by long-term prisoners. It received its world premiere this April at the Belfast Film Festival to universal acclaim.
There will be a Panel QandA after the showing with the Director and one of the prisoners who has since been released. There will also be a showing of H3 a film made on the 1981 hunger strikes and written by Laurence McKeown and Brian Campbell, both former prisoners. There will be a Qand A with Laurence after the screening.

Drugs, Alcohol and Criminal Justice: ethics, effectiveness and economics of inte
- Description:
- “Drugs, Alcohol and Criminal Justice: ethics, effectiveness and economics of interventions”, will be closed soon.
* The conference will take place in London, on the 24-25 June 2010.
* The conference will be in ENGLISH and RUSSIAN
* The conference will combine plenary sessions with themed interactive workshops and parallel sessions to address the ‘3 E’s’ in the provision of drug and alcohol services in the criminal justice system in Europe:
- Are interventions ethical – do they have due regard to human rights?
- Are they effective – what does the evidence tell us?
- Are they economically viable – obviously this will vary from place to place, but the underlying process is to examine the relative costs of both action and inaction.
The final programme of the conference is attached and can be found on line (together with all other information related to the event and logistics) at http://www.connectionsproject.eu/conference2010.

Second European conference of the CONNECTIONS project
- Description:
- The University of Kent is delighted to announce the Second European Conference of the CONNECTIONS Project, organised by the Conference Consortium and supported by Drink and Drugs News and Napo.
The conference will look at a range of interventions and treatments, from harm reduction to drug free ‘recovery’ in the criminal justice system. The premise is that no one treatment modality can deal effectively with the complex range of presented need. The task of the conference is to discuss and debate how best the different components can be combined most effectively.
