The Future of Prisoner Resettlement in Mauritius

'not a number' hosted an event with 3 expert speakers on the topic of prisoner resettlement. The aim was to provide different perspectives on the existing challenges and potential solutions. These 3 perspectives included academia/research, an NGO practitioner and a representative from the Mauritius Prison Service.
The resettlement pathways framework and theoretical background were presented by 'not a number'.
Our guest speakers shared their knowledge and perspectives on current trends/initiatives. They also offered their insights and recommendations in regard to the future of resettlement in Mauritius. Attendees included barristers, NGO staff, prison staff, therapists, students, and religious bodies.

ALU - Session on Age & Crime/Resettlement - Theory to Practice:

Not A Number delivered a two-hour interactive session on age & crime as well as resettlement to second year sociology students at the African Leadership University. The session looked at the age-crime curve, career criminals, criminogenic factors and resettlement. It also covered how these theoretical approaches can be used when designing crime prevention and offender resettlement projects. 'not a number' gave concrete examples of their own projects where these theories are being applied.
