As the Executive Director, Helene De Vos is responsible for directing the organizational strategies and coordinating the activities of the European and national RESCALED Offices.

Her doctoral research focused on the normalization of living conditions in Belgian and Norwegian prisons. By spending a great deal of time in these prisons, not only her academic interest grew, but also her motivation to change the prison system. That is why Helene established RESCALED in 2019 together with like-minded people from five European countries.

Johan’s interest in incarceration first occurred outside a Moroccan prison. He could see the inmates in the yard and was told that Europeans survived a maximum of 6 months in such a prison. Later, he had the opportunity to be a guest of Norwegian prisons. Today, he works with inmates establishing a new life after their sentence. When he was introduced to Rescaled, he felt that his ideas and thoughts for a better prison future found common ground with the movement.
