We do so from a deep conviction that is rooted in key values and based on scientific evidence. When deprivation of liberty is the only solution, it should take place in detention houses.
RESCALED supports the use of detention houses instead of large prison institutions.
We bring the prison system to the attention of civil society, inspire for positive solutions and advocate for detention houses and their benefits amongst citizens, policymakers, practitioners, journalists and academics.
By connecting with policymakers, practitioners, journalists and academics from all over Europe, we build networks and platforms to exchange ideas on small-scale detention and co-create solutions.
We build, collect and share knowledge and expertise on detention houses and their implementation. Through the RESCALED Research Community, Knowledge Workspaces and by mapping existing practices across Europe.
