Dr. Róisín Mulgrew has joined with EuroPris (European Organisation of Prison and Correctional Services) to launch a dedicated prisoner rights section in its regular newsletter. This newsletter is distributed to prison policymakers and practitioners across the Council of Europe. The goal of this initiative is to promote professional and rights-informed prison practice.

Europris stated that it was ‘delighted to announce the inauguration of a new segment dedicated to the dissemination of human rights conventions. In this section, we will systematically explore key topics of significance within prison environments, as identified by their relevance and importance. This section is made possible thanks to Dr. Róisín Mulgrew, an expert in international law and human rights and a lecturer at the University of Galway, who is also an expert in the EuroPris Foreign Nationals in Prison and Probation group’.

The first addition in September 2023 focused on the rights of transgender prisoners. The November edition will focus on solitary confinement.
