Published purpose

This project aims to create favourable conditions for the successful reintegration of incarcerated women and minors in Haiti after they are released. The project also seeks to combat recidivism, reduce violence and prevent social destabilization in Haiti. The targeted groups in custody are minor boys, girls and approximately 200 women, in addition to officers from the penitentiary administration division. The project uses a comprehensive approach to rehabilitation, meaning a psychosocial approach that will allow beneficiaries to take advantage of socio-educational activities and participate in training activities while incarcerated. The project centres on 2 strategic priorities: re educating and reintegrating incarcerated women and minors, and building the capacities of the penitentiary administration division.
