CIRE is a public body that depends on the Department of Justice of the Generalitat de Catalunya. It manages the socio-labour reintegration of inmates and offers them professional training and paid productive work in prisons and support in the search for a job in the last stage of the sentence. The main goal of CIRE is to give a second chance to people serving a sentence. CIRE trains more than 3,000 inmates in the trade that currently have the highest demand in the labour market. Vocational training has a threefold objective to: • Develop the employability of people serving a sentence. • Increase the qualification, skills, and professional profiles of inmates. • Accredit professional training and basic and specific training to have added value in the Catalan market. CIRE provides work to inmates of prisons and educational centres in Catalonia in its 70 workshops (carpentry, printing, handling, and assembly workshops, clothing, or locksmithing) with 150 companies. In addition to conventional production workshops, CIRE has created a new way to occupy inmates in services highly demanded by the labour market and also other essential jobs for the proper functioning of prisons such as the kitchen, laundry, shop, and ancillary services. Inmates on probation have the opportunity to work outside the prison in highly sought trades in the labour market (plumbing, painting, electricity, cleaning of public and private spaces or fire prevention in forest areas, among others ), held by a specific Service of CIRE. The Inclusion Department is the last step in the CIRE policy reintegration process; it is aimed at people about to serve their sentences: a global follow-up of the active search for job offers to multiply the possibilities of reintegration. Inclusion Department Team offers advice throughout the process of an active search for job offers, tailored training, legal immigration advice, therefore, employability skills according to the needs of the market. Thus, inmates acquire work habits and professional skills, as well as training in trades in high demand in the labour market.

Iasi Penitentiary is a high-security prison located in Romania, housing approximately 700 detainees. It operates as part of the defense, public order, and national security system, under the supervision of the National Administration of Penitentiaries of Romania. Given its strategic location, Iasi Prison plays a crucial role in coordinating with other prisons in the North-East region of the country. The primary objective of this public organisation is to facilitate the successful reintegration of inmates into the local and national community. To achieve this goal, the prison provides comprehensive support from social, psychological, and educational perspectives. This assistance aims to equip individuals with the necessary skills and resources for a smooth transition back into society after their incarceration. The efforts of Iasi Penitentiary are focused on promoting rehabilitation, addressing the needs of inmates, and preparing them for a positive and productive future beyond their time in prison.

The organization "Cultural Association of Corfu – Friends of the Corfu Prison School" (FCPS) is a research and cultural organization that supports in multiple ways the school operating inside Corfu prison. Created by an initiative of Corfiot citizens, it is perhaps the only association of its kind in Europe. It was founded in September 2019 with the aim of supporting the Corfu Prison School and promoting the education of prisoners in Greece. It is funded exclusively by membership fees, donations and artistic events held for this purpose. Its actions include both the holding of cultural events, inside and outside the prison, with the active participation of student prisoners, as well as the professional training of those about to be released. The aim of the association is to create a bridge of communication between the school and the residents of Corfu. It numbers about one hundred active members and has a large network of volunteer citizens who participate in and support this innovative community project. Corfu Prison, built in the 1840s by the British conquerors, is one of the oldest examples of the implementation of the "Panopticon" plan conceived by the English philosopher and sociologist Jeremy Bentham. It was one of the toughest prisons in Greece for both criminal and political prisoners. To date, the Association, in collaboration with the School, has carried out during its six years of operation more than seventy educational and artistic actions (both inside and outside the prison, in the urban fabric of the city). For some of them, special permission was given by the Public Prosecutor's Office of Corfu in order for the long-term prisoners themselves to present original artistic works in the city center, activating and sensitizing a large network of citizens. Former student prisoners of the school have found work in Corfu thanks to the awareness of citizens who have overcome their stereotypes about what a prisoner is and can be. The four-member research team supported by the association, consisting of scientists with experience in prisoner education, has participated in a number of synergies in France, Ireland, Italy, Greece, Portugal, Turkey and Norway.
