August 15, 2020Discussion on Judicial Matters 2
Last weekend, the Policy Board (Málefnastjórn) of the Socialist Party of Iceland invited 3 individuals to discuss their views and experiences of Icelandic judicial matters.
This was done because a group of randomly selected socialists is now beginning work on drafting the party's policy on judicial matters.
Another speaker was Bjarki Magnússon on behalf of Afstaða, an association of prisoners and other interested parties in improved prison affairs and rehabilitation.
He talks about, among other things, prisoners' opportunities for rehabilitation and/or the lack thereof.
Afstaða has, for example, emphasized looking into what has been done in Norway, as they have significantly changed their rehabilitation system, and other countries are now looking there for experience.
