For a fair, humane and effective response to crime

We work in and on the German prison system and the broader criminal justice system. We believe that a society that is committed to human rights has a special responsibility to make prisons as humane as possible and to ask again and again who is punished with imprisonment in a free and democratic society and whether this is the appropriate response to the societal issues that lead people to prison. We can only do this by directly observing conditions in prisons, by asking questions and by entering into an exchange with the people who are impacted by and responsible for this realm, which largely eludes public awareness.

On this Youtube channel, we are experimenting with the film format to inform the public about the prison sector and our projects.
