Strengthening a country’s capacity to develop, maintain and manage a viable, safe, secure and humane prison system is an integral part of sustainable, nationally-owned peacebuilding efforts and an important building block for preventing relapse into conflict. This Prison Incident Management Handbook is intended to provide guidance to United Nations
corrections officers and other partners that assist national prison authorities in addressing the many prison security challenges. It provides a framework to maintain good order in prisons and exercise safe and humane control of prisoners.
