CA-3-D004641001 2026-09-10T06:32:49 The purpose of this project is to improve the response to the violation of rights of minors (girls and boys) who are in trouble with the law and to improve the response to the social reintegration of minors detained at rehabilitation centres and the Cabaret civile prison. Young people are the future of Haiti, as they make up roughly half of the population and are key to the country’s future development and stability. Unfortunately, there is a high level of youth in extended preventive custody and a heavy reliance on detention, owing to a lack of alternative measures. This project aims to reduce the negative influences minors may encounter upon entry and release from prisons and rehabilitation centres because the poor social reintegration of youth is a factor that could lead to instability and social problems. Project activities include: (1) the set-up and update of a database on individual psychosocial history; (2) the implementation of activities and the provision of psychosocial assistance; (3) a survey is to be conducted on the labour market in the metropolitan Port-au-Prince area, which will more readily lead to jobs for youth; (4) the provision of internal and external training; (5) a survey is to be conducted on the prison situation of minors; (6) the implementation of life plans in keeping with the aspirations of minors; (7) the facilitation of the reintegration of minors in trouble with the law with their families and communities.

Results achieved at the end of the project (July 2019) include: (1) observed a reduction in reoffenders among the 151 minors released from the rehabilitation centre (boys) and the women’s prison in Cabaret of the Port-au-Prince metropolitan area. Since the beginning of the project, only 2 out of the 151 minors released (1.3%) relapsed into crime; (2) sensitized communities of reintegrated minors' on the importance of not stigmatizing them; (3) provided 225 detained minors (16 girls and 209 boys) individual and group psychological support; (4) provided 200 detained minors (16 girls and 184 boys) vocational training; (5) retraced some of the minors' families; and (6) provided support to improve released minors’ abilities to reintegrate society.
