The Soria prison has strengthened its rehabilitation programs with new workshops in carpentry, gardening, and digital literacy. These are added to addiction and mental health treatment, with the aim of reducing recidivism and facilitating the social integration of inmates after their release. The initiative adapts resources to the needs of each prisoner.
Digital literacy and carpentry: tools for a future outside the walls 🛠️
The digital literacy workshops teach basic skills such as using word processors and safe internet browsing, skills in demand in today's job market. Carpentry and gardening provide practical training in trades with professional prospects. The reinforcement in mental health and addiction treatment relies on more volunteers and cultural and sports activities, creating an individualized treatment plan.
Social skills workshop: where learning not to say the guard is right costs you a course 😅
Inmates also receive training in social skills, something that will surely prevent future misunderstandings. For example, they will learn that asking for things politely works better than demanding them by shouting. And in gardening, they will discover that watering plants is more rewarding than watering arguments. All in the name of never seeing the inside of a cell again, except on a tourist visit.
