Reintegration Center
The Netherlands
What we believeWe believe that the guidance of Dutch detainees in their search for a paid job should be improved. Certain conditions, such as accommodation, a healthy financial situation and psychological /medical care, are of great importance therewith. We provide for such conditions in close collaboration with the staff of prisons and the reintegration centre.
This presentationDuring this presentation we will explain the purpose of having a reintegration centre. We also would like to know to what extent the participants currently have set up a reintegration process.
What is the problem• In/outflow detention: 35,093 persons in 2012• Complex target group• Detainees do not have internet access• Many detainees are unable to organize their own affairs properly • Citizens - and therefore also prisoners - can only provide
information regarding their registration for work and income digitally
• High rate of recidivism (71% within 6 years)
