🎙️ Welcome to Let's Talk RESCALED, the podcast where we dive deep into the heart of justice reform. Hosted by Noa Shoshan and brought to you by RESCALED, a European Movement dedicated to reshaping our approach to incarceration.

In our 6th episode, host Noa Shoshan engages in an insightful conversation with Olta Qejvani, lecturer and researcher at universities in Albania and newly appointed individual member of RESCALED.

During this episode, we explore the justice reform landscape in Albania and the broader Balkans region, examining how European values and local contexts can shape justice reform. Our guest shares valuable perspectives on the importance of research, awareness-raising, and community-driven change in advancing detention houses implementation.

💡 Discover how academics and civil society can become catalysts for systemic change, and learn about the critical role of building evidence-based policy through university curricula and research initiatives. This conversation highlights the challenges and opportunities of introducing detention houses in contexts where the initiative is still emerging, highlighting the importance of starting with "realistic hope" and community foundations for long-term success.

"If we don't have a road, at least we take efforts to build that. So this is the only way." - Olta Qejvani
