Digitalisation to support rehabilitation and a modern European prison culture
DIGICOR supports innovation in the European correctional sector by training prison staff in digital skills and technology-based solutions to rehabilitate and reintegrate inmates.
New digital skills for prison staff to foster inmates' (re)inclusion
This initiative focuses on digital literacy to enhance the education and employability of inmates to break the cycle and reduce recidivism rates.
Prison staff (educational/training staff, technicians, and prison officers) well-adjusted to the new digital era facilitate access to digital tools, which are key drivers for inmates’ (re)inclusion.
