The development of a comprehensive Manual comprising nine different rehabilitation programs for the prison treatment department has been completed on 23-24 April. The aim of the Manual is to improve the therapeutical scope of the programs in accordance to prisoners’ individually developed treatment plan by addressing specific behaviours and problems.
With the help of the new programs, prisoners will make better use of time spent in prison and will receive support to align their behavioural patterns to the perspective of reintegration back to the society. The programs will also help prisoners control their medical conditions and develop their social skills, preparing them in view of their release from prison.
The Manual has been developed 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.
