We’d like to thank all of the students who keep the spirit of penal reform alive through their research and advocacy. Through your work, we can safely say that the future of penal reform and informed reporting on penal policy matters in Ireland is in good hands.
The best way for students to show their support for our work and keep up to date with Irish Penal Reform Trust (IPRT) news is by becoming a member of IPRT. Student membership is €10 and guarantees that you’ll be the first to hear about upcoming events and issues of interest.
Without membership, you can also sign up to receive important updates from IPRT here.
Unfortunately, we are currently unable to guarantee a response to every individual research request. We would love to be able to respond and engage with each student who gets in touch; however, as a small staff team and given the volume of requests that we receive, we are unable to do so.
We enjoy hearing from those students passionate about penal reform research, but our foremost priority is to be as effective as possible in our goal of achieving progressive penal policy reform. This means that while we will not be responding to every individual request, we will continue to always share our knowledge on our website, through our publications, and across IPRT social media channels.
We encourage students interested in IPRT’s work to explore our comprehensive research centre, key issues, and news and press releases before contacting IPRT directly.
Thank you in advance for your understanding and your interest in our work!
Respect for rights in the penal system with prison as a last resort.
