The working group preparing a Manual comprising individual reintegration programmes for different prisoner categories held an on-line meeting on 18 December with the guidance of a Council of Europe consultant. In accordance to the initially adopted standardisation methodology, the meeting focused on the development of the programmes pertaining to sexual offenders, prisoners with long sentences, and juvenile offenders, based on the results from piloting.
The reintegration programmes that will form part of the Manual, are currently being followed by prison treatment staff under the mentoring of a Council of Europe consultant and with regular exchange of detailed documentation. The end goal of the endeavour is to finalize the individual programmes based on the observations during the piloting phase and, eventually, develop a unified Manual, which will serve as an official overall treatment programme once adopted by the Institution for the Execution of Sanctions of Montenegro.
The Working Group meeting was organised within the action “Further enhancing human rights protection for detained and sentenced persons in Montenegro”, as a part of the joint European Union and Council of Europe programme „Horizontal Facility for the Western Balkans and Turkey 2019-2022“, implemented by the Council of Europe.
