We are proud to be part of the most recent edition of JUSTICE TRENDS, where we could bring you more details about DigiMac™. This digital maturity model for prison agencies allows to understand the digitization of services, taking also into account the prison and its people’s nature.

Explore all the information on this model, including the five dimensions that are an integral part of it and the three distinct levels of digital readiness it allows to determine.

This article and research work has been done together with my dearest colleagues Bianca C. Reisdorf, Ph.D. and Dr. Victoria Knight. It is a real honour for me to be able to work with them!
