Rait Kuuse, head of Estonia's Prison Service, has been elected as the new president of EuroPris, the association of European prison services. Kuuse has contributed to the development of Estonian prisons and criminal rehabilitation since 1999 and has led the Prison Service for five years.

Rait Kuuse, director general of Estonia's Prison Service, was elected this week as the new president of EuroPris, the association of European prison services. This is a significant recognition both for Kuuse personally and for Estonia's criminal justice system more broadly.

Kuuse has been involved in the development of Estonian prisons and criminal rehabilitation since 1999, and has served as head of the Prison Service for five years. EuroPris brings together European prison services and aims to promote cooperation and the sharing of best practices among member states.

The EuroPris presidency gives Kuuse the opportunity to shape the development direction of European prison services and bring Estonia's experience to international attention. Estonia's criminal justice system has undergone significant reforms in recent decades and has received positive assessments from international experts.
