Parallel Workshops
This presentation, drawing from research in Maltese prisons, shows how one can combine a Systemic Therapeutic Approach, embedded in a philosophy of Positive Criminology, through Informal Education Projects and Positive Modelling in a prison environment. The innovative element in this approach to rehabilitation is the strong involvement of significant others (such as partners, families or friends) in educational programmes inside the prison. The project involves the bringing together, in a community for rehabilitation, the person in prison, the educator, the significant other and the prison officer.
