October 19, 2018 by the Margineni Penitentiary in partnership with the Prahova Territorial Branch - National College of Romanian Social Workers. The debates dealt with the mediation of the relation between the community and former prisoners, as well as the removal of barriers separating members of the same community, as the participants represented a wide range of institutions involved in the reintegration process, from penitentiaries, DGASPC units, probation services, local public authorities, as well as representatives of the People’s Advocate Institution. The conclusions of the activities developed within the meeting showed that efficient interinstitutional cooperation implies double intervention: both on the prisoners, and their community of origin. The benefits of cooperation with state institutions and representatives of the civil society actually are a connecting bridge between the actions of the penitentiary system to support the convicted persons in their efforts of regaining normality on the one hand and the community’s willingness to reintegrate and value the contributions of those who were excluded due to their antisocial behaviour, on the other hand. ● The 5th edition of the “InterFest” Inter-penitentiary National Festival organized by the Bucharest-Jilava Penitentiary on September 11, 2018, within the penitentiary. ● the seminar organized during November 1-2, 2018 in Bucharest, by the Association of the Jesuit Refugee Service in Romania (JRS Romania) in partnership with the UNHCR Representation in Romania.
