Description
Programme outcome the project contributes to: “Improved correctional services”
During the last decade, there have been considerable changes in the Correctional Service System (Latvian Prison Administration and State Probation Service).
The project will contribute to an improved correctional system in Latvia by establishing a training centre and developing the technical design of model prison block for training in the Olaine prison area. The pre-defined project will be part of a model which reflects the functioning of the whole justice chain, with a special focus on alternative sanctions. In addition to the investments in the new infrastructure, an effective training system will be developed for the employees of the Latvian Prison Administration and the State Probation Service to ensure modern and effective staff training in line with identified needs. Sustainability will be ensured by the introduction of advanced working methods in the correctional service which is likely to have a positive future impact on recidivism and promotion of re-socialization.
The pre-defined project will include, inter alia, the following activities:
- construction of the Training Centre and the development of the technical design of model prison block;
- improvement and development of normative acts;
- approbation of staff training programmes in the newly constructed infrastructure;
- Project management and publicity.
