\"\"<\/a>VIENNA, AUSTRIA, JANUARY 2017<\/p>\n

Jean-Pierre Simoneau, Director of operations for the UNESCO Chair in Applied Research for Education in Prison, was invited by the United Nations Office on Drugs and Crime (UNODC) to join an expert group in Vienna, Austria, from January 23 to 25, 2017.<\/p>\n

UNODC contacted Mr. Simoneau because of his experience in prison education and invited him to work on the first version of a manual that will serve as a guide for countries wishing to initiate and implement rehabilitation activities in prisons. The manual concentrates on programs linked to education, training and work that would help detainees.<\/p>\n

The manual is a follow-up to the \u201cIntroductory Handbook on the Prevention of Recidivism and the Social Reintegration of Offenders\u2019 published by the United Nations Office on Drugs and Crime in 2012, based on \u201cUN Standard Minimum Rules for the Treatment of Prisoners\u201d which was in turn based on the Nelson Mandela Rules written by Mr. Mandela after his prison term during the Apartheid system. The Handbook serves as a complement to the Nelson Mandela Rules.\u00a0<\/p>\n

The UNODC also invited Mr. Simoneau to give an official presentation during the expert group meeting, on the expertise C\u00e9gep Marie-Victorin has accumulated in adult education in Quebec federal prisons, the \u201cProgramme en communaut\u00e9 PRET 2000 \u201c and the C\u00e9gep Marie-Victorin UNESCO Chair.<\/p>\n

The working group was made up of experts from about twenty different countries who represented several public safety departments, national correctional services, intergovernmental groups affiliated with the UN, and civil society organizations working with detainees. This meeting makes up part of the vital work carried out by UNODC on educational and employment programs for detainees.<\/p>\n

The manual drafted during this mission will be published in summer 2017 and made available on our website and in our newsletter.<\/p>\n

Furthermore, the UNESCO Chair will keep in touch with the participants and update them on research, educational programs and innovative practices, and also follow up on the discussions initiated during this important meeting.<\/p>\n
