Last modified 2007-01-10 16:19
In the state of Entre Rios, Prison Fellowship Argentina, Catholic Prison Pastoral, Baptist Prison Ministry, “Patronato de Liberados” (parole) are working together in the provision of a pre-release programme for prisoners who are ninety days from obtaining conditional release.
The goal of this programme is to provide future ex-inmates the necessary skills to become contributing members of society by taking responsibility for themselves and their families. Based completely on the APAC methodology, this programme is supported by the government of the state of Entre Rios. The programme objectives are well organized and can be defined in three points:
October 2006
- Through a method of human valorization, we can provide prisoners who are eligible for conditional release the tools they need to assume personal responsibility for their lives and therefore complete rehabilitation.
- Through a well regulated regime of spiritual, educational, ethical, civic, and cultural activities, we can help the inmates develop a consciousness of their innate human dignity.
- By encouraging the inmates to take steps making amends with the victim and reconciliation within themselves, we can help inmates toward reintegration in both their community and with their families.
