AmsterDames: An English Feminist Podcast in the Netherlands#49: Can Detention Houses Replace Prisons? - Veronique AichaThere are certain rules that our society follows that we accept as a given. We do not think much about it. One of these rules is the following one: A person who commits a crime goes to prison. But what if prisons didn't exist? Could you imagine a world without prisons? Rescaled most certainly can, because they are challenging the concept of prisons, offering a replacement: small detentions houses. Veronique Aicha works for Rescaled Netherlands and she explains what this movement wants to achieve.

If they manage at all. But if they speak up and search for help, they often find themselves stuck in a bureaucratic system, long waiting lists and insufficient support. But there is one woman who wanted to change this system and she founded Stichting Together we rise.
