Arte: Are Europe's prisons at a breaking point?

With more convicts than cells, European prisons are facing a crisis which is forcing big questions about the penal system and rehabilitation. ARTE Europe Weekly takes a look behind bards to find out about the impact this has on inmates, as well as potential solutions.

This programme is produced by the European platform ARTE and made available in 9 languages through a European media partnership named EMOVE Hub. The hub is coordinated by ARTE and includes El País (ES), Gazeta Wyborcza (PL), Internazionale (IT), Ir, (LV), Kathimerini (GR), Le Soir (BE) and Telex (HU). The partnership receives EU-funding following DG CNECT’s call for „European Media Hubs” within the framework of the EU’s Multimedia Actions.
