TOWARDS SMALL SCALE, DIFFERENTIATED AND COMMUNITY INTEGRATED DETENTION
RESCALED advocates for detaining offenders in houses instead of prisons. Prisons cause problems. But problems can be solved. Detention houses are integrated in the community and differ in security level, services and activities. They enable more effective and humane punishment and contribute to safer and more inclusive communities.

#MOVEMENT FOR SMALL DETENTION HOUSES
People in detention are deprived of their liberty for a given period. This period is considered to be proportional to the offense. This also means that after this period of imprisonment, these persons should be able to take part in society without additional difficulties, and the harm caused by the offense should be restored in some way. Regaining a place in society and restoring the harm is hard when the ties with society are broken while in prison. This is where the current prison system falls short.
