Can a country build its way out of a prison crisis by focusing on overcrowding, or must it rethink why so many people are imprisoned in the first place?
In its latest policy report published by the Nordic Center for Conflict Transformation (NCCT) Noufal Abboud questions the conventional approaches to prison reform in Morocco, examining the structural drivers of incarceration and making the case for, not only alternatives to imprisonment, but mainly to decentralized reintegration, and a justice system that looks beyond prison walls.
The challenge is not merely to reform prisons, but to reconsider the place of imprisonment in the pursuit of justice.
