Description
In this project, VOLONTÉ CZECH and involved stakeholders (Czech prisons, Åpenhet AS, ProEduCo, Probation and Mediation Service, Prison Service, the Ministry of Labour and Social Affairs, General Directorate of the Employment Department) respond to the stagnant recidivism and to the unresolved issue of a smooth transition of clients from imprisonment into everyday life. To address these issues, the project proposes a mentoring program for a pilot group of 150 clients from 5 prisons, based on the objectives and results of documents including the Final evaluation report of the completed projects RESTART II, REVENANT, RECOVERY, RESURGENT Jirice, VOL Qualification, Change is possible and the concept of imprisonment until 2025.
Thanks to the personal meetings with prisons, we created personal, organizational, technical and financial preconditions for the implementation of the program, which we plan to implement within the interconnected key activities. The main aim of the project is to create appropriate and complex conditions for resocialization and reintegration of clients and support them in the positive way of their development and fight recidivism. The target group consists of 12 mentors and 150 prisoners. We believe that the project will contribute to the creation of appropriate conditions for the resocialization of people after release. Due to the interconnection of activities of state institutions and NGOs, the continuity and complexity of services in the area of prevention will be achieved. A qualified approach of professionals and trained mentors will support the client''s positive changes and thus reduce the risk of recidivism. The resocialisation and development of positive attitudes to a decent life also contribute to issues such as social inclusion and empowerment of vulnerable group, namely of released convicts.
