Emphasis is placed on sobriety, literacy and participation in volunteer projects. Meetings with all participants are held regularly. Encourage exchanges between inmates and staff. To provide a safe and stimulating work environment for staff in general, personnel are encouraged to participate in activities organized for inmates involved in the program. By increasing opportunities for exchanges between inmates and staff, a relationship of mutual trust can develop.
Inmates also have responsibilities.
For instance, they each act in turn as the group's representative to the administration. They have priority for assignment to some positions of trust. Their private family visiting privileges are increased. Harmonize relations among the inmate population. This objective creates a calm atmosphere which eases exchanges between inmates and, consequently, between inmates and staff.
