NATIONAL STRATEGY FOR SOCIAL REINTEGRATION OF PERSONS DEPRIVED OF LIBERTY
INTRODUCTION
The international context, dominated by the economic crises, by the need for reallocation resources, requires a new
approach to manage the inmates by each country. This revealed as emergency solution to repatriate inmates to countries
of origin, decision requiring identification, at individual level, for instruments / management mechanism.
Internally, the recession in recent years, corroborated with low jobs offer, educational offers and training
insufficiently adapted to the needs of vulnerable groups, puts additional pressure on the society, which is also reflected in
the upward dynamics of the crime rate (2008 – 171, 2009 – 159, 2010 – 195). The upward dynamics of inmates number in
prisons (26.716 at December 31, 2009; 28.251 at December 31, 2010; 30.694 at December 31, 2011; 31.817 at December
31 2012; 33.434 at December 31, 2013) exercises also additional pressure on strategic decisions, which need to be
undertaken and therefore systemically implemented. This pressure creates however the opportunity to identify and develop
instruments / execution and post-execution management mechanism, providing the opportunity to increase the chances of
social reintegration of inmates.
The new judicial vision, imposed by the entry into force of the New Codes, marks the need to rethink, to reposition
at the level of criminal policies, aiming a strategic horizon.
Assuming implementation at the Executive level, the new concept of “social economy” is one of the priority actions
that will require, in turn, a reposition of the emerging strategies, developed by the main actors involved in the
operationalization of this concept, including National Administration of Penitentiaries.
After the public release (February 02, 2010), from the National Administration of Penitentiaries, of the proposal to
establish a working group, involving representatives of public institutions, NGOs or other civil society representatives,
with possible role in post-detention assistance, in order to draft the “National Strategy for Social Reintegration of the
Inmates”, were organized successive workshops which aimed at developing this project. In these coordinates, during three
sessions of the extended working groups and seven sessions of subgroups, was drafted the “National Strategy for Social
Reintegration of Inmates” (grounded and multi-annual plan of activities).
The “National Strategy for Social Reintegration of Inmates” has been completed with the involving and consultation
of the Ministry of Justice, penitentiaries, as well as institutional partners in the Annex 1A. The resulted form and the
promotional activities established by the Department of Social Reintegration were presented in the working meeting of
September 29, 2011, whose organization has received support from representatives of the National Administration of
Penitentiaries and from representatives of public institutions and NGOs: Ministry of Justice, Ministry of Education and
NATIONAL STRATEGY FOR SOCIAL REINTEGRATION OF PERSONS DEPRIVED OF LIBERTY
Research, National Authority for Child Protection and Adoption of Ministry of Labour, Family, Social Protection and Elderly,
National Agency Against Drugs, General Directorate of Bucharest Police, Humanitarian Service for Penitentiaries, “Rock of
Ages” Foundation, “Criminal Justice Reform” Foundation, Association for Women Entrepreneurship Development, “Youth
for Justice” Association etc.
In the period of time October – December 2011, emphasis was placed on activities to promote the “National
Strategy for Social Reintegration of Inmates”, by steps whose organizational framework was outlined by the specialized
department and the implementation was ensured in all prisons:

organizing meetings with institutional and organizational partners in the local community, where experts in social
reintegration in each place of detention presented the “National Strategy for Social Reintegration of Inmates”;

organizing public debates on the topic of the “National Strategy for Social Reintegration of Inmates” at the
premises of the local universities;

organizing meetings with local public administration by the representatives of education and psychosocial
assistance service, being presented the “National Strategy for Social Reintegration of Inmates”;

informing the media, in cooperation with the press officer of each unit, about the “National Strategy for Social
Reintegration of Inmates” and the importance of the public awareness and promotion activities.
The project received additions from the National Probation Directorate, co-opted, together with the Ministry of
Labour, Family, Social Protection and Elderly, National Agency for Employment and the General Inspectorate of Romanian
Police under the Ministry of Internal Affairs, in their efforts to finalize the project “National Strategy for Social
Reintegration of Inmates”, intensified in February 2012 and completed in August 2012.
In these coordinates, the draft Government Decision on approval the “National Strategy for Social Reintegration of
Inmates” has been subject of public debate on the website of the Ministry of Justice, this stage ending at December 30,
2012.
To finalize the Strategy was necessary to estimate the financial impact of the proposed measures, which resulted in
a report that described the budgetary implications, depending on the financial resources that were provided for each of the
strategic objectives and their subscribed activities. The analysis was conducted within the project “The return of former
prisoners into to labour market and their integration into society” and was assumed by the United Nations Development
NATIONAL STRATEGY FOR SOCIAL REINTEGRATION OF PERSONS DEPRIVED OF LIBERTY
Program, by contracting two experts. Final estimation of the financial impact was realized in 2013, at the end of the project
“The return of former prisoners into to labour market and their integration into society”,.
Social reintegration of inmates is a process that has its beginnings in execution phase. An essential role of the
prison service is to prepare inmates for post-detention. To achieve this goal is necessary to correlate the needs of inmates
with the educational programs, psychological support, social assistance and social inclusion approach. Also, for the
success of social reintegration is necessary the contest of local community, in their dual quality: partners of prison service
and beneficiaries of the whole process of social reintegration of inmates or those who served custodial sentences.
The prison administration, through the National Administration of Penitentiaries and subordinated units, as public
institutions of national interest, contributes to the protection of public order and national security by guarding, escorting,
surveillance, enforcement of the detention regime and organise of the educational activities, psychological support and
social assistance for social reintegration of inmates. In these coordinates, the National Administration of Penitentiaries and
its subordinated units constantly evaluates the educational needs, psychological support and social assistance of inmates,
this process constitutes the basis of the strategy for their social reintegration. Individualization and planning of the
execution by organizing activities for school training, professional training, educational programs, psychological support
and social assistance constitutes current approaches assumed to all places of detention to achieve the educational
function of punishment or executed the custodial measures.
Legislation on penal matters requires the responsibility of the penitentiary institution, educative centres and
detention centres, to organize and conduct educational, cultural, therapeutic activities, psychological support, social
assistance, school training and professional training during detention, to facilitate social reintegration of persons in
custody. Preparation for release and social reintegration begins immediately after the placement in the place of detention,
the setting a detention regime requires drawing a Plan of evaluation, educational and therapeutic intervention for each
person convicted. The inmates receive individually recuperative interventions, the minors, young people (aged 18-21) and
vulnerable women, from the perspective to adapt the educational approaches, psychological support and social assistance
to their psychosomatic particularities and personal development needs. The specific activities educational, psychological
and social assistance, coordinated by specialized personnel, exclusively during execution of sentence, are a necessary
condition but not sufficient for social reintegration. The quality standards in the training of professionals involved in
implementing this Strategy and the resources allocated to this area lead to increasing the chances of reintegration of a
person deprived of liberty into society, with reduced risks of relapse.
NATIONAL STRATEGY FOR SOCIAL REINTEGRATION OF PERSONS DEPRIVED OF LIBERTY
Since the inmates belong to community, the partner institutions, in fulfilling their duties, considers a priority to create
an articulated inter-institutional mechanism, to ensure, in a shared vision, the crossing through successive stages of social
reintegration process.
Ministry of Labour, Family, Social Protection and Elderly, through the institutions under its authority, the National
Agency for Employment and the National Authority for Child Protection and Adoption, is involved and supports the social
reintegration of inmates and those who executed sentence / custodial measures, by organizing vocational training courses
and facilitating employment or monitoring the child rights in places of detention and post-detention.
Ministry of Internal Affairs, through its subordinated institutions, is involved in facilitating the social reintegration,
through involvement in post-detention stage, based on its responsibilities in terms of powers conferred by the law.
Conducting, in cooperation with other institutions and local and central public administration authorities, the campaigns and
projects for crime prevention it is also one of the priorities assumed by the Ministry of Internal Affairs, in the general context
of the social reintegration and the reducing of the risk of relapse.
Recuperative activity requires the creation and development of a community support framework to facilitate the
social reintegration, by establishing partnerships between the public and private sectors. The cooperation between prisons
and institutions, local and central public administration authorities, NGOs with responsibilities in facilitating the social
reintegration of inmates, enrol within the guidelines of international and European framework, by providing norms, values
and universal principles, applicable to the treatment of beneficiaries.
In the context of inter-institution cooperation, it is necessary to establish bases of conducting common projects of
recuperative intervention, an essential role belonging to the institutions and civil society organizations. By maintaining the
contact between inmates and support environment, and wider, with community, it aims, on the one hand, to reduce the
negative effects of detention and, on the other hand, to the community involvement in the process of social reintegration.
Developing mechanisms to facilitate the social reintegration creates an opportunity to attract foreign funds, by promoting
common projects to improve detention conditions and the assistance provided to the persons kept in custody. Getting
results when working in collaboration depends on diversification of the common approaches, the active involvement of the
parties and the sustainability acquired after completion of the projects with external funds. To ensure visibility and
continuity of the actions undertaken at the institutional partners, it requires constant media coverage and promotion of the
performed activities, including with the support of civil society.
NATIONAL STRATEGY FOR SOCIAL REINTEGRATION OF PERSONS DEPRIVED OF LIBERTY
In the absence of a corresponding legal framework for an inter-institutional system, interactive, articulated and
functional, to continue the educational approaches, psychological support and social assistance in detention / internment,
the results obtained will reduce efficiency, which requires, necessarily, promotion and implementation of “Strategy for
social reintegration of inmates”, assumed at national level. It is necessary a new approach oriented to the continuation and
concretization of the steps to social inclusion, initiated in detention, by contribution of institutions, local and central public
administration authorities, NGOs, that working or having the vocation to work in the field of post-detention.
Such an approach aims to create the necessary institutional framework for social reintegration of inmates,
emphasizing the active role that institutional factors and the community should achieve it, through a convergent action, in
relation to the desideratum of social reintegration of the persons with criminal records. Thus can be identified and
mobilized the resources needed to support the efforts of the inmates and the persons who had executed imprisonment to
regain a stable social role and to stop the social assistance.
LEGAL FRAMEWORK

Defining the problem
Current regulation do not refer in a complete and sufficiently systematic manner to the issues of cooperation and
complementarity in providing the assistance granted to the inmates by the prison employees, along with the probation
NATIONAL STRATEGY FOR SOCIAL REINTEGRATION OF PERSONS DEPRIVED OF LIBERTY
officers, central and local public authorities and nongovernmental organizations with a role or vocation to activate in postprison assistance(NGOs) as well. Even if there is a connection between penitentiaries and other public authorities
regarding some activities which are meant for the benefit the inmates, taking into account the up-to-date regulations, the
needs of the prison population (compared to the actual premises of social reintegration) claim the necessity of a regulatory
framework and an inter-institutional system, so as to provide an addition of interactivity and functionality. Criminal policy
pays a decisive role by establishing clear competences and responsibilities of the stakeholders involved, in terms of
developing the cooperation and complementarity framework of the institutions, public authorities and NGOs active in the
field of post-prison assistance.
On the basis of ‘The National Strategy for Social Inclusion of the Inmates’ stands a series of documents, as follows: The
diagnostic analysis of the penitentiary system-year 2008, The Prime Ministers’ Control Body report, The plan of measures for
improving the prison system-year 2008, The National Administration of Penitentiaries’ study ‘ Evaluating the current situation in
the field of social reintegration-year 2009’; studies conducted in the framework of outsourced projects: ‘The strategy for
employment and developing skills through learning and running activities for freedom’-The study of the Regional Research
Institute of Lombardy, ‘Increasing opportunities for social inclusion of the detainees ,through a better society informing , as well as
improving penitentiary activities’ and ‘The return of former inmates on the labour market and their integration into society’.
In the study conducted in the penitentiary system in 2009, ‘Evaluating the current situation in the field of social reintegration’,
were assessed the main domains strongly influencing the efficiency of the educational activities, psychological counselling and
social assistance, as follows: human resources , working in committees ,the contents and educational activities, psychological
counselling and social assistance, cooperating with NGOs, the working tools used by the reintegration stuff in its activity. The
study conclusions, which are nowadays available, mostly regarding human and material resources, highlighted the following:




Human resources are insufficient by reference to the workplaces provided for the social reintegration branch;
Taking into account the efforts which are continuously made to ensure the existence of the minimum standards on
the number of spaces and their adequate accommodation, related to the entire prison system, there have been
outlined significant differences between prisons, which claim the establishment of the same standards all over the
units of the system.
The involvement of inmates in the educational programs, which was considered really useful during the reintegration
process by the specialists in the field;
In the prison system there are numerous protocols, mostly signed with public institutions, their activity being
considered useful and diversified as regards the variety of programs that can be carried out with the participation of
the inmates.
NATIONAL STRATEGY FOR SOCIAL REINTEGRATION OF PERSONS DEPRIVED OF LIBERTY

The instruments used in carrying out activities and educational programs, psychological counselling and social
assistance are not applied in a standardized manner in the analysis of each inmate, as to fundament the same
individualized recuperative interventions.
Among the above mentioned documents, we also outline the conclusions of The study of the Regional Research
Institute of Lombardy adopted within the project ‘The strategy for employment and developing skills through learning and
running activities for freedom’, which strike four main aspects that strongly influence nowadays social-professional reintegration of
the inmates, as follows:




The culture and perception the outsiders have on inmates;
The legislation;
The social reintegration support systems;
The social networks.
The report on the results of the sociological research undertaken in the final evaluation of the project ‘Increasing
opportunities for social inclusion of prisoners through a better society informing and a global improvement of the
activities carried out in prisons’ marks out that incarceration and detention leave a mark on each inmate’s social evolution, his
relation with the outside world having a significant weight in social reintegration. These links with the outside have been monitored
by applying questionnaires on prisoners, with items targeting family relationships, behavioural changes occurring during detention
and social reintegration prospects as well.
One of the studies conducted within this project ‘Prisoners’ views regarding the Romanian penitentiary environment’,
developed over a period of three years ( 2009-2011), indicates, in the final evaluation period, an increase in the percentage of
prisoners who say that labelling and people’s prejudices it’s a major difficulty in the social reintegration process ( 35% in 2011
from 30.5% in 2010 and 29% in 2009).The study reveals as well, that, in the opinion of prisoners, the lack of a job represents one
of the most important problematic issues faced after liberation.
Within the project ‘The return of former inmates on the labour market and their integration into society’ it was carried
out a Report on the functional aspects of the reintegration of former inmates on the labour market (2011), in which there are
advanced two important references:

The limitation of the positive effects of the social reintegration programmes correlates with the lack of cooperation
between partners and the agencies involved, but also with the inefficient implementation of the programme and
specific activities’ components. For example, programs intended for reintegration on the labour market should
contain:
- training courses for work/employment;
- professional training courses;
- controlling the prisoner at work and supervising his activity by a case manager;
The development of an inter-institutional network, cooperation between institutions, probation services, public
agencies, community and social services, NGOs and private companies should be imposed as a standard practice,
with the establishment of a scheme for an informational exchange among professionals in different areas of activity,
involved in the process of social reintegration.
Among the recommendations of the experts involved in drafting the report we notice the following:
-
-
the growth of opportunities for open prisoners to attend courses at upper secondary level education in
community;
the maintenance of budgetary funding for training courses intended for prisoners through the National
Agency for Employment, the Chambers of Commerce and Industry of Romania’s increasingly involvement in
the working reintegration of the inmates;
the development of a cooperative relationship between prison and probation, the development of a common
database;
the promotion of a legislative act in order to inter-institutionally regulate the conditions and opportunities for
social reintegration of the inmates.
At an European level , in the framework of the Strategic Forum in Berlin, there were outlined in 2012 some
recommendations formulated in the ‘ Ex-Offenders Community of Practice’ project, subsequent to the organized workshops and
seminars, so that, for the social reintegration of the former inmates, should be taken into account alongside a unique strategy at
EU level, the following:

The partnership between public institutions and non-governmental organizations
NATIONAL STRATEGY FOR SOCIAL REINTEGRATION OF PERSONS DEPRIVED OF LIBERTY
‘Ex-Offenders Community of Practice’ project recommends that all the relevant services should be involved in the social
reintegration process of the former inmates. They should be supported through formal agreements if they consider it appropriate,
as well as implemented in the European institutions, at the level of national Governments, among service providers, at a local and
regional level, for all the public institutions and non-governmental organizations, regardless of the level. ‘Ex-Offenders Community
of Practice’ project recommends that all who work with the inmates and former inmates should be trained in a manner as current
and efficient. This process will include increasing awareness and cutting out the prejudices existing through the public opinion,
supporting service providers as well as natural or legal persons that can be receptive to working with this category of person
(incumbents), regardless of age.

Evaluation
It is also recommended that the detailed and systemic assessment of each inmate should be made by specialized
institutions in the domain (with specific attributions), in an early stage so as each inmate/detainee/prisoner can benefit from the
most suitable support during detention , during the period of preparation for release and in the post-detention stage as well.

Contact with family/community
The project recommends that the maintenance and strengthening of the links with families – through stuff training, creating
a penitentiary culture oriented towards the involvement of families in supporting the inmates during detention and after liberation
as well – should be a priority of the social reintegration process and a contribution to reducing the risk of relapse.

Initiative on employment, training and education
‘Ex-Offenders Community of Practice’ project recommends, as a priority of the social reintegration process, the growth of
the employment rate, both by providing training, appropriate education and gaining work experience, keeping positive links with
employers and training providers, as well as through anti-discrimination legislation and practice.
NATIONAL STRATEGY FOR SOCIAL REINTEGRATION OF PERSONS DEPRIVED OF LIBERTY
In conclusion, the main areas of concern/issues within the social reintegration domain (in the current stage of the criminal
policy in Romania), contained in the documents listed above and that give the basic directions of this Strategy, are organized into
the following directions:
 An institutional and inter-institutional capacity adapted to an advanced (highly-performance)
reintegration process
social

Insufficient human resources to include all inmates and post-detainees (persons who served
imprisonment/custodial sentences) in regenerative approaches for the identified needs , based on the
undertaken qualitative and quantitative standards;
The social reintegration domain has qualified staff, but the number is insufficient to ensure the involvement of all prisoners
and post-detainees in regenerative approaches, as well as to increase the quality of the carried out activities. The progress
registered in the development of the regulatory/normative, methodological and instrumental framework in the assistance of the
inmates is encumbered by an acute shortage of human resources in all social reintegration structures included in the penitentiary
system. The insufficient number of specialists negatively influences the execution path of the sentenced persons, because of the
absence or low quality of the interventions provided, with direct effects on the relapse risk.
From the perspective of continuous professional training, it is necessary to diversify the curriculum of training or retraining
courses intended to the personnel involved in the educational, psychological and social assistance of the inmates, as a
prerequisite for increasing the qualitative standards of the activities related to the reintegration process. So, the integrated
approach needs a constant identification of the training needs registered in all public authorities and institutions with
responsibilities in successive stages of the social reintegration process of inmates and post-detainees (former inmates).

Insufficient material and financial resources allocated for the social reintegration process of the
inmates and former inmates
The material and financial means involved in the social reintegration domain/field are insufficient in terms of specific
activities, the quality and quantity of the results being closely dependent on their existence and usage level. Budgetary funds
allocated for the educational, psychological and social assistance activities, included, according to The National Administration of
Penitentiaries and its subordinate units, in the budgetary article No.57.02.02 ‘Material social aid’-(Revenue and grants) are used
only for the purchase of school supplies, teaching materials for the educational process and for other social rights of the
detainees. Given that before 2011 there were not explicitly provided funds for the social reintegration field, reported to 2011 and
2012, the situation concerning the allocated budget is thus:
NATIONAL STRATEGY FOR SOCIAL REINTEGRATION OF PERSONS DEPRIVED OF LIBERTY
- 2011: 60.000,00 compared to the forecast called for 175.000.00;
- 2012: 40.088,00 compared to the forecast called for 139.361,00;
- 2013: 34.754,00 compared to the forecast called for 153.936,00.
According to the central statistics at the level of The National Administration of Penitentiaries in Romania, at the end of the
year 2013, the average monthly expenditure for a detainee were 2.462 RON, under the terms of an actual of 33.053 incarcerated
detainees on 31.12.2013.
The share structure of the elements of the present expenditure is the following:
- personnel expenditure: 71,54%;
- goods and services expenditure: 17,33%;
- capital expenditure: 1,53%;
- health insurance contributions (for the inmates): 3,39%;
- other expenses: 6,21%;
We mention the fact that the total employees of the penitentiary system was, at the same reporting date, 12.208 persons,
of which, only 639 specialists in the social reintegration field, an insufficient number in the general context of reforming the
criminal executional path, in which there were sanctioned the balancing of the custodial function through the social reintegration
function of the penitentiary service, the individualized approach to the recuperative intervention and designing a progressive and
regressive system of the punishment execution.
Although personnel expenditure occupy an important share, total expenditure for ensuring inmates’ custody, in absolute
value, can be reduced by streamlining the social reintegration activities, with direct effect on reducing recidivism rate, at present
being estimated that between 60% and 80% of the total prison population of Romania returns to prison. The expenditure issue
cannot be neglected, since in NAP’s evidence there are 111 decisions of the European Court of Human Rights, in cases
concerning prison living conditions and prisoners’ rights failure, the total amount spent on indemnifying prisoners rising over
970.000 Euros and 10.000 Swiss francs. These data are updated in real time, as provided by the Ministry of Finance.

Insufficient adaptation of the regulatory framework to the social reintegration needs, in terms of
ensuring the resources and the necessary services’ continuum, with clearly defined responsibilities of
the central and local public institutions involved. Social reintegration involves an efficient interinstitutional cooperation mechanism that can imply the assumption, at an institutional management
level, of the priorities related to the sustenance of the social reintegration process of the inmates,
information exchange, as well as developing, application and, from case to case, review of some interinstitutional procedures.
NATIONAL STRATEGY FOR SOCIAL REINTEGRATION OF PERSONS DEPRIVED OF LIBERTY
 Developing educational, psychological counselling and social assistance programs



Standardizing the social reintegration domain is in the ongoing process, being necessary to
strengthen the implementation and, where necessary, review of the programs and activities offering, in
the field of education, psychological counselling and social assistance, as well as of the work
methodology , and to continue into procedures.
The absence of a coherent social-professional reintegration policy, adapted to the needs of
prisoners and labour market requirements, allowing them to access a diversified range of training
programs and find a job. Most of the prisoners have a low level of education and professional training
and, implicitly, diminished chances to be integrated into the labour market. Criminal record affects the
credibility of those who served custodial sentences against employers, thus being excluded from the
labour market.
The existence of prejudices and stereotypes that hinder the social reintegration process and which
would require raising public awareness by reflecting the unrolled activities during detention , as well as
running crime prevention campaigns, including inmates. The negative perception of the society
towards inmates and former inmates is based on distorted information, leading to a significantly
negative impact. However, society should realize that the social reintegration of the inmates is
essential, taking into account that the return of former inmates in prison, firstly requires committing
new crimes that majorly affect the community.
 Facilitating post-detention assistance (systemic level)



The absence of an informational platform that allows correlating information on inmates and former
inmates, sharing/common access for the institutions and public authorities with responsibilities on
social reintegration , as well as assuring an optimal informational flow by updating the data for all the
assisted cases, for the successive stages of the social reintegration process.
Inconsistency in ensuring , at a widely integrated level, the continuity of all recuperative steps
initiated during detention, in the context of the absence of an inter-institutional, articulated
mechanism, made to ensure the involvement, at a national level, of the social actors enabled to
facilitate the social reintegration process.
The absence of a regulatory framework that allows the development of social enterprises, focused
on those intended to former inmates.
NATIONAL STRATEGY FOR SOCIAL REINTEGRATION OF PERSONS DEPRIVED OF LIBERTY




The absence of adjusting the regulatory framework so as to stimulate the involvement of local
public authorities, economic operators and other individuals or legal persons (legal entity), public or
private, in sustaining the social-professional reintegration of the inmates.
The absence of adjusting the regulatory framework so as to govern the functioning and
administration of the social inclusion centres by public or private social services providers, in order to
provide/assure former inmates/people who served custodial sentences, in an integrated system,
temporary hosting, information, counselling and social reintegration in the post detention stage.
Insufficient development of social support, to facilitate access to training programs and other type
of services intended to assure the regular assistance in the post detention stage (medical and social
assistance), including meditation for family and community reintegration.
Inconsistency in a systematic promotion of the social reintegration of the inmates, as a result
of a poor collaboration and a distinct reflection on the contribution of the institutions, local and central
public authorities and nongovernmental organizations regarding this process.
OBJECTIVES
Reconfiguring the inter-institutional collaboration aims to provide a continuum of social services, individualized and
systematic assistance and counselling interventions, adapted to the needs of the inmates or former inmates. These activities
would address both the specific needs of the preparation for release stage and the ones specific to the post detention stage as
well. In this regard, additional to the efforts invested by the local and central public institutions and authorities, civil society’s
representatives’ incentives is beneficial/profitable for developing support networks in the community, thus continuing the
recuperative efforts initiated during detention.
The intervention areas correlated to the above mentioned concerns, suppose, in terms of creating the prerequisites for
facilitating social reintegration and thus reducing the risk of relapse/recidivism, the following:
-
Adapting the educational, psychological and social assistance programs to the needs of the inmates;
Diversifying the educational and social assistance programs and activities offering in order to involve a larger
number of prisoners;
Empowerment and community awareness of the importance of the social reintegration of the inmates and
former inmates;
Facilitating post detention assistance;
Regulating, providing and accessing some services or specialized centres to support inmates’ or former
inmates’ social reintegration efforts, focusing on the support of the proximate communities.
NATIONAL STRATEGY FOR SOCIAL REINTEGRATION OF PERSONS DEPRIVED OF LIBERTY
In implementing this Strategy it is necessary the involvement of the nongovernmental institutions and organizations with
role in assisting the inmates and former inmates in the successive stages of social reintegration, social partners that are found in
Annex 1.
 Vision
By implementing’ The National Strategy for Social Inclusion of the Inmates’, respecting the values of humanism, integrity,
loyalty, professionalism, respect for the law, openness to community, will be ensured a coherent social reintegration system for
the inmates, with institutionalized involvement and community support, ready to meet the intricate needs of the beneficiaries and
society as well.
 Mission
Organizing and unrolling educational, psychological and social assistance activities both by local and central public
authorities and institutions, and nongovernmental associations or organizations, that contribute to the reintegration intro society of
the prisoners and former prisoners, taking into account the need to protect citizens.
In this context, there have been established 3 main strategic objectives that will be implemented in specific objectives,
activities provided with people in charge, deadlines and output indicators.
I. Developing institutional and inter-institutional capacity in the social reintegration domain intended to prisoners and
former prisoners
Career orientation, the maximum use of resources and the improvement of the organizational climate stand out as major
concerns regarding institutional management with direct implications on the quality of the results obtained locally or systematically
in the field of the social reintegration of the inmates and former inmates. Successively, it is required to unitary proceed and
develop some institutional policies so as to facilitate the social reintegration process. Thus, we pursue the following:
-
Developing personnel’s proficiency;
Institutional infrastructure development and institutional cooperation;
Changing the regulatory framework in order to improve the continuum of services in the social reintegration
field;
Developing and implementing institutional procedures.
NATIONAL STRATEGY FOR SOCIAL REINTEGRATION OF PERSONS DEPRIVED OF LIBERTY
The expected result by achieving this objective consists in preparing the prisoners, educationally, psychologically and
socially for a social professional reintegration or, from case to case, for receiving them in a post detention assistance circuit.
II. Facilitating post detention assistance to a systemic level
In the Romanian society we find a generalized tendency of the state institutions to act in a small frame, in the absence of a
systemic cooperation framework, intended to bring consistency and efficiency to the institutional and inter-institutional actions.
Facilitating post-detention assistance can be achieved by conjugating efforts and recognizing, in the social reintegration process,
the active role that the central and local public institutions and authorities, nongovernmental associations and organizations have.
Attracting and involving the central and local public institutions and authorities, nongovernmental associations and
organizations in the post-detention process, in a concerted effort, are absolutely necessary for the social reintegration process,
with lasting effects, of the post-detainees.
Through this goal, we follow:
Developing and strengthening partnerships between local and central public authorities and institutions,
nongovernmental associations and organizations and local communities, so as to facilitate the social
reintegration of the former-inmates; the involvement of the local authorities in providing social support measures,
so as to facilitate access to training programs and other types of services offered in the post detention period, as
an assistance measure, inclusively regarding meditation for family and community reintegration.
Ensuring the continuity of the interventions for the former-inmates by taking over the cases and providing
assistance in the post-detention stage.
Analysing and, from case to case, modifying or filling the regulatory framework concerning the
establishment, organization and functioning of social enterprises intended to create jobs for vulnerable groups,
inclusively for former inmates.
Analysing and, from case to case, modifying or filling the regulatory framework concerning the
establishment, organization and administration of the social inclusion centres.
NATIONAL STRATEGY FOR SOCIAL REINTEGRATION OF PERSONS DEPRIVED OF LIBERTY
Analysing and, from case to case, modifying or filling the regulatory framework needed in stimulating the
involvement of
the local public administrations, economic operators and other individuals or legal persons
(legal entity), public or private, in sustaining the social-professional reintegration of the inmates.
The expected result by reaching this goal is to ensure the organizational and functional regulatory framework so as to
support inmates in the post-detention stage to assume and exercise autonomous social roles.

LEGAL IMPLICATIONS
Implementation of the "National Strategy for the social reintegration of persons deprived of liberty” implies, in
terms of legal implications, the followings:
1) Analysis of the regulatory framework to ensure continuity of services offered in the field of social reintegration:
Studies highlight effective practices in other European countries and recommends completion of certain legal provisions
applicable in the field of social inclusion, social care and employment, to improve access of inmates and people who
served custodial sentences at a broader range of social services and administrative facilities compared to what is available
at the present time.
- Law no. 76/2002 regarding the system of unemployment insurance and the stimulation of job occupation, with
subsequent amendments and additions;
- Law no. 116/2002 regarding the prevention and fighting against social exclusion, with subsequent amendments and
additions;
