-18 of “a reinforcing circle of causality.”26 The concept of dynamic security as referred to in the European Prison Rules (51.2) and the UN Mandela Rules (76 1c) essentially embodies such a circular understanding of security.27 Questions for monitors • Which examples of circular dynamics can be identified behind a current problem? How does this change of perspective affect your understanding of the problem and possible solutions? • How could a circular understanding be integrated in the daily work of monitors: In the analysis of problems? In interviews with detainees and conversations with prisons management and staff? In the elaboration of recommendations? In the design of strategic follow-up action? 2.5.

For more detailed information on the concept, see United Nations Office of Drug and Crime (UNODC), ‘Handbook on Dynamic Security and Prison Intelligence’ (United Nations Publication 2015) 31.: „Security also depends on an alert group of staff who interact with, and who know, their prisoners; staff developing positive staff-prisoner relationships; staff who have an awareness of what is going on in the prison; fair treatment and a sense of “well-being” among prisoners; and staff who make sure that prisoners are kept busy doing constructive and purposeful activities that contribute to their future reintegration into society. This concept is often described as dynamic security and is increasingly being adopted globally.” 28. Humberto Maturana and Francisco Varela, The Tree of Knowledge (Shambhala 1992) 27.
