This training center aims to facilitate the social reintegration of prisoners upon release from prison, explained Commissioner Sony who is committed to fighting against juvenile delinquency because the prison has more than 300 prisoners, most of whom are young people aged 20 and at 30 years old.

As for the President of the Bar Delpêche Joassaint, he insisted on respecting the rights and dignity of prisoners through the creation of this professional training school within the prison.

Director Charlemagne Jean Claude praised the benefits of training in a prison space and requested financial support from everyone in order to continue the training of prisoners in different disciplines such as plumbing, IT, building electricity, decoration, crafts, sewing, cutting, preparation of products among others. Experienced trainers or teachers will deliver the courses.
