The manual “Inmate Reintegration: Compilation of Theory and Practices” — a product of the RE[ENTER] project implementation —, aims to contribute to the training of professionals and volunteers who already work or wish to work in the correctional system.
Running until April 2021, RE[ENTER] is a project that aims to support the education of correctional officers with the appropriate tools and knowledge of good practices concerning inmates and ex-inmates’ reintegration into society.
More than a list of good practices, an essential training handbook
The RE[ENTER] manual comes in line with revised literature and addresses theoretical topics, including the principles of criminology, the consequences of incarceration, diversity, and the phenomenon of radicalisation in prisons.
Additionally, this guide covers experiences of implementing programmes and provides a list of good practices on different issues, such as the psycho-educational programmes (e.g. anger management, moral discussion groups).
Subjects addressed by the RE[ENTER] manual:
- Crime phenomenon and criminology;
- Incarceration consequences;
- Diversity and radicalisation;
- Working in prisons;
- Good practices and skills on psycho-educational tools application on inmates.
