Senior consultant Attila Juhász and Dr Emanuel Banutai, an expert in
radicalisation and violent extremism from the Slovenian Probation
Administration, shared a very fruitful presentation entitled “A
regional practical perspective on the rehabilitation of R/VETOs in
the prison (and probation) setting”.
Attila Juhász shared some practical and thought-provoking insights
on the needs of prison systems to successfully handle and
rehabilitate radicalised offenders. In his view, the prison system
is unable to solve the problem by itself. He explained several
system needs, stressing the crucial role of front-line staff, who
should be better trained.
Emanuel Banutai shared some specific issues the Balkan region faces,
focusing primarily on the Slovenian context. He presented some
challenges, namely the significant workload prison and probation
staff have to cope with and their very limited training on P/CVE.
The workshop allowed for relevant and thought-provoking debates on
how to bridge the gaps between prison and community-based
rehabilitation and reintegration programmes for violent extremist
offenders. With the participants dynamically engaged through smaller
break-out rooms, the discussion led to the exchange of good
practices implemented, highlighting the practical challenges and
potential solutions. |
