Enhancing Prison Population Management Through Expanded Probation in Tunisia

The project aims to divert low-risk, first-time offenders to probation and community service in Tunisia, reducing prison overcrowding and radicalization. The program will establish probation offices, deliver training, increase public awareness, and standardize procedures. Key activities include establishing four new probation offices, standardizing operations in 24 governorates, and developing a centralized coordination system. The project will also provide technical support for the launch of electronic monitoring systems. The goal is to reduce recidivism and support long-term prison population management. • Establish four new probation offices and standardize operations in 24 governorates • Develop a centralized coordination system for probation offices • Deliver training to justice sector actors and community stakeholders • Increase public awareness of the benefits of community service and probation • Standardize procedures, including the use of information technology, to streamline the process • Provide technical support for the launch of electronic monitoring systems
