Popis: This report aims tomap current exit programmes for prison and/or probation settings. Considering the goals and scope of the project, the programmes presented in this report are mostly from European Countries, representing institutional interventions that are implemented on a regular basis. The introduction of the report addresses key characteristics of exit programmes (i.e., who is the actor; what is the contact approach; and how relevant is the ideological component) as well as the range of interventions that can be part of these programmes (i.e., individual mentoring; mental health care and counselling; reintegration services). Section 2 of the report summarises exit programmes implemented in prisons. With a focus on the European reality, programmes in the United Kingdom (UK) (i.e., Healthy Identity Intervention), Denmark (i.e., Back on Track), Germany (i.e., Radicalisation Prevention and Deradicalisation in Prison and Probation - VPN; and Network for Deradicalisation in Corrections – Federal State of Hesse), Austria (i.e., De-radicalisation in Prisons), and Norway (i.e., Mentoring Scheme) are presented. Intervention programmes in prisons from other regions are also explored, with examples from Africa (i.e., Nigeria) and Middle East (i.e., Israel). Section 3 proceeds with examples from exit programmes in probation contexts in countries such as the UK (i.e., The Unity Initiative), France (i.e., Research and Intervention on Violent Extremism) and the Netherlands (i.e., Terrorism, Extremism and Radicalisation team of the Dutch Probation Service). Ending the report, the conclusions and what works sectionsummarises the main findings of the previous sections, drawing conclusions based on the literature review (e.g., the need for multidisciplinary teams; tailor-made nature of the programmes; importance of a post-incarceration monitoring phase). Annex I summarises the described exit programmes in European Prisons.
