Objectives:
The specific objective is to improve the psychophysical development condition of the minor children of inmates with individualized external actions and supportive activities in the parental relationship in prison. The expected positive and measurable changes are:
1) strengthening of the minor’s schooling and socio-educational paths
2) improvement of the inmate/child relationship during detention and at the end of the sentence
3) improvement of communication within the family unit.

Target audience
140 minors who will be referred to the project in the presence of the following needs:
– social difficulties
– school dropout
– relational and behavioral disorders
– difficulties in interacting with the detained parent
– situations of intra- and extra-familial conflict and violence
– conditions of economic precariousness
– health problems.

Indirect recipients are 90 inmates (estimate given by assigning 1.5 children to each inmate). Additional direct recipients are 10 children of inmates (included in the 140) who have been out of prison for no more than 6 months and who present the urgency of support in the acceptance into the family of the parent, who can be supported in family relationships and in the social-work fabric through ‘ad personam’ mentoring. Indirect recipients of this segment of activities are also 8 inmates who have been out for no more than 6 months.
