The workshop's objective was to foster an appreciation for the importance of prison leadership styles, managing transition and concepts of prison as a tool for rehabilitation. A range of issues on the agenda included prison management and leadership, rehabilitative approaches, inspection as a management tool, and the idea of the “whole prison”, where all systems are working in synergy towards the two main purposes of prison service.

The workshop “Vision for Change” on general prison management issues and importance of rehabilitative approach was held in Kyiv on 25 September 2015 in the framework of the joint project of the European Union and the Council of Europe “Further Support for Penitentiary Reform in Ukraine”.
