Improve the well-being of prisoners in detention, enable them to change their
behavior and attitudes, develop their ability to live together, learn to
respect others and abide by the rules, and thus facilitate their reintegration
into society, these are the objectives of a prison sports policy.
There has been growing recognition of the value of sport by the prison system.
Its effects are highly beneficial to those in detention and to prison life in
general. However, looking at the objectives through to the challenges, we can
see that the link between sport and prison is a complex one, and in order to
understand it better and to see what lessons can be learned, an in-depth
thinking process is required, based on current scientific knowledge in this
field and on state policies and practices being implemented in prisons.In the
framework of its activities promoting diversity in and through sport, the
Enlarged Partial Agreement on Sport (EPAS) of the Council of Europe has been
working on the subject of sport and prison since 2013, in close connection
with the Council for Penological Co-operation (PC-CP). Following an expert
seminar organised in Strasbourg in 2013, a pan-European conference was held in
Paris in 2014. The results of a survey which highlighted the numerous examples
of good practice regarding sports programmes were discussed. The conference
highlighted the need to record the different points of view regarding sport in
prison at a pan-European level in order to identify the real challenges.
Gaëlle Sempé is a lecturer in sociology, sports science and physical education
training (STAPS), and teacher-researcher at Rennes University 2. Mr Vivian
Geiran, author of the foreword, is chair of the Council for Penological Co-
operation (PC-CP) of the Council of Europe.The Enlarged Partial Agreement on
Sport (EPAS) is an agreement between a number of Council of Europe member
states (38 as of 1 January 2018) which have decided to co-operate in the field
of sports policy. As an “enlarged” agreement, EPAS is open to non-member
states. It works in co-operation with relevant organisations, in particular
with representatives of the sports movement.
