For a Successful Re-Entry into Society

Corradino Correctional Facility has embarked on a project intended to support prison inmates to re-enter successfully into society.

The title of the project is:  Participation for Employment at CCF: Social Inclusion through Education and Training - P4E@CCF

Project Reference: ESF 02.064

The Goal

CCF aims at achieving a reduction in recidivism, for the benefit of the inmates, their families and society in general.  A successful prison institution is one where inmates do not return because they have integrated well as law abiding citizens.  Our goal is to support inmates in reintegrating by focusing on four highly related and integrated areas:

Evidence-Based Practice Implementation

The goal of the prison authorities is to implement evidence based practice that results in successful reintegration. One such success has been the RISE project, with a zero recidivism rate. CCF plans to complement this success for a wider number of inmates, commencing from the first day an inmate is admitted at CCF. This will be possible through the drawing up of a sentence plan that takes into consideration the above mentioned four areas.
