Kinouété operates both inside and outside prison, and the results obtained confirm that 8 out of 10 beneficiaries are unlikely to re-offend. “The social and professional reintegration of incarcerated people is not only a right, but also a necessity, to build a fairer, more inclusive and resilient society,” explains Pauline Bonieux, President.
At the end of May, at the Training School of the Beau Bassin Central Prison, Kinouété presented a study conducted by researcher Sheistah Bundhoo-Deenoo and funded by the European Union. Public and private partners from the justice, human rights and social development sectors discovered the results of the report, entitled “Barriers to the reintegration of women and young ex-prisoners in Mauritius”, and the set of integrated solutions – vocational training programs, reform of the character certificate system, etc. – that tackle the stigma attached to ex-prisoners. – which tackle stigmatization in the world of work, and the restoration of self-esteem and human values.
