摘要
This article documents country-level differences in the extent of COVID-19 outbreaks in corrections systems across the European region. Variations in the timing, duration, and intensity of front-end, in-prison, and back-end mitigation strategies are also identified. We conclude by providing a preliminary assessment of the effectiveness of these mitigation strategies, particularly in those countries that combined transparency and proactive, early release mechanisms.
