Network after imprisonment
There are many things to keep in mind when imprisonment ends and it is important to have support when such a major change occurs. It can be good to have support and guidance. For that we have the project Network after imprisonment.
Network after imprisonment
The Red Cross has a project for those who are finishing their detention.
Are you finishing imprisonment or have you ever been imprisoned?
There are many things to keep in mind when imprisonment ends and it is important to have support when such a major change occurs. It can be good to have support and guidance. For that we have the project Network after imprisonment.
You will be connected to a volunteer 2-5 months before your release. You and the volunteer will be in contact for about a year and meet up once a week in average. The volunteer will help you with different tasks concerning daily life; apply for jobs, seek housing, assist with planning your finance, meet social workers etc. Also there is a focus on the importance of building a strong social network.
You can apply or contact a social worker at the prison or contact the Red Cross: eftirafplanun@redcross.is / tel. 786-7133.
