The BasicGuide for Decision-Makers on Worldwide Practices and Recommendations aims to support decision-makers working in the criminal justice sector in taking (and justifying) the necessary decisions to prevent and mitigate the risks of the COVID-19 pandemic in correctional settings.

Balancing the necessary measures to ensure inmates, staff and citizens safety in times of growing pressure is critical to overcoming the current crisis.  This guidepresents  measures adopted by a substantial number of Penitentiary Administrations around the world and establishes a correspondence between nationally adopted strategies and the recommendations of globally recognised international organisations such as theWorld Health Organisation(WHO), and the Council of EuropeCommittee for the Prevention of Torture(CPT).
