Reintegration Center The Netherlands
What we believe We believe that the guidance of Dutch detainees in their search for a paid job should be improved. Certain conditions, such as accommodation, a healthy financial situation and psychological /medical care, are of great importance therewith. We provide for such conditions in close collaboration with the staff of prisons and the reintegration centre. This presentation During this presentation we will explain the purpose of having a reintegration centre. We also would like to know to what extent the participants currently have set up a reintegration process.
