Inmate Rehabilitation

Inmates’ rehabilitation program is aimed at assisting prison inmates to acquire psycho and socio-life assets and skillset. This will help them adapt to, and cope with challenges related to incarceration and prepare them for societal reintegration, post-incarceration.

This program provides rehabilitative support to inmates through offering programs, activities and services such as vocational training, counseling, social re-integration coping skills, etc. to ensure their proper sustenance when they are finally released into the society. This approach is aimed at softening the punitive methodology of most criminal justice systems of simply punishing offenders by only locking them away. Through this program, we hope to foster the willingness and ability of prisoners to lead law-abiding and self-supporting lives upon release through offering constructive, impactful and meaningful activities for them to engage in while incarcerated.

This is in keeping with The United Nations Standard Minimum Rules for the Treatment of Prisoners (The Nelson Mandela Rules), Rule 4, paragraph 1 and Rule 91; as read with Article 10, paragraph 3, of the International Covenant on Civil and Political Rights, which prescribes that the penitentiary system shall comprise treatment of prisoners the essential aim of which shall be their reformation and social rehabilitation.
