More than 60 correctional system leaders from around 40 countries have gathered in Istanbul to participate in the Service Leaders Forum, which marks the opening of the 27th Annual Conference of the International Corrections and Prisons Association (ICPA).

The conference, organized by the General Directorate of Prisons and Detention Houses of Turkey, under the direction of Mr. Enis Yavuz Y?ld?r?m, is held under the theme: “Well-being in Corrections: Initiatives for Staff, Systems and Communities”.

This international event was also attended by the Director General of Prisons of Albania, Mr. Klevis Qose, who joined representatives from different countries to exchange experiences and discuss global challenges affecting penitentiary systems.

Interim President of ICPA and Chief Executive of the South Australian Department of Correctional Services, Mr. David Brown in his opening address said: “We are all here with the recognition that what binds us is not just the theme of this conference, but a deeper commitment to public service in the corrections sector”. He emphasized that: “Every correctional system is, at its core, a public service. Its success depends not only on infrastructure, rules or resources, but on leadership, values, integrity, sustainability and compassion.”

“It is often said that in demanding environments like ours, well-being is not a luxury, it is a necessity,” David Brown told delegates. He cited Nelson Mandela’s words to underscore the moral weight of their work: “There is no greater gift than to give your time and energy to help others without expecting anything in return.”

David Brown expressed the hope that delegates would leave the conference with “renewed energy, new tools and strengthened confidence” in their roles and with lasting connections forged across borders.

The Director General of Prisons, Mr. Klevis Qose, highlighted during the discussions issues of global importance that affect prison systems around the world. He focused in particular on phenomena such as overcrowding in institutions, the presence of persons with mental health problems within the penitentiary system, as well as the importance of using contemporary methods for preventing and dealing with cases of organized crime with international impact when they are identified in prison systems.

He also stressed the importance of strengthening cooperative relations between states, particularly in the areas of professional training, information exchange, and the development of common methods for preventing global phenomena affecting prison systems.

The General Directorate of Prisons of Turkey expressed its support for the Albanian penitentiary system, emphasizing its willingness to further strengthen cooperation and exchange experiences towards improving correctional policies and practices.
