The main goal of the project
is to reduce the risks
of social exclusion of individuals
serving a prison sentence and

their competencies to be

in the labour market.
Linking care during a prison sentence and after release respects and supports existing forms of services. The intention is to reduce the risk of a habitual criminal activity and to limit the emergence of possible crisis situations in the vicinity of persons returning from prison.
Main activities
The main project activity is a resocialization and active integration of citizens serving a prison sentence into society and the labour market and improvement of their access to social services.
The primary aim of the project is to create better conditions for the fulfillment of the three basic functions of serving a prison sentence:
The protective function, which consists of preventing the commission of further criminal activity and protecting the life, health and property of all citizens;
Resocialization function, i.e. integration of convicts into society after release;
Preventive function, which includes the use of all available forms of penitentiary and post-penitentiary action so that the individual is able to lead a regular life as a citizen without inappropriate behaviour and habits plus, above all, to avoid recidivism.
The recipient is General Directorate of the Corps of Prison and Court Guard. The national project involves ten selected prisons from total number of eighteen prisons in Slovakia, as well as the Central Office of Labour, Social Affairs and Family through all offices of labour, social affairs and family in Slovakia.
