This four-year European collaboration, led by CPIP Romania, unites 24 partners to address evolving needs of the staff within the correctional ecosystem.
RESIZE enhances a more dynamic approach to staff development through micro-credentialing, certification, and recognition of prior learning, equipping correctional professionals with the skills needed to navigate systemic changes across Europe. As one of only eight Blueprint Alliances selected by the EU, RESIZE emphasizes a more humane and effective approach to detention, promoting detention houses.

This one-year collaboration involves three core teams from different countries: RESCALED (Europe), Restorative Justice Nederland (the Netherlands), and Richtungswechsel – AT (Austria) with the support of VZW De Huizen (Belgium).
The project introduces detention houses for young adults (18-25) as a replacement for large-scale prison institutions, empowering them to build better futures. This project aims to develop a blueprint with practical steps for implementing detention houses for young adults through knowledge mapping and sharing, study visits, workshops, and exchanges.

This two-year European collaboration brings together four organisations: RESCALED (Belgium, European), Antigone Association (Italy), Irish Penal Reform Trust (Ireland), and Penal Reform International (the Netherlands, international).
The project aims to drive change in how small-scale detention is understood, implemented, and monitored across Europe. Central to the project is the development of a robust, data-driven monitoring and evaluation framework tailored specifically to small-scale detention, combining qualitative and quantitative indicators to enhance transparency, accountability, and cross-national comparability. This framework is complemented by legal and policy tools that support the formal recognition and effective implementation of small-scale detention within national criminal justice systems.

INSPIRE is a collective learning process about detention houses and the dynamic interaction with their local urban, economic and social context. What are good examples of restorative justice in relation to detention houses? How can a detention house be implemented? How can a detention house finance itself through a social enterprise? And how do we empower and amplify the voice of lived experience throughout the implementation process?

WISH EU stands for Working in Small Scale Detention Houses in Europe. In March of 2022, a consortium of CSOs (De Huizen, Restorative Justice Netherlands, FARAPEJ, RESHAPE and Prison Insider) came together for this two-year project. This European project, funded by the European Commission, aims to support the implementation of small-scale, differentiated and community-integrated detention houses or facilities in Europe.
