The possibilities regarding various activities and activities within the community are limited because the Torres Novas Prison follows the general Portuguese prison rules. The residents have little autonomy; they don’t have control over their schedule and are not responsible for making arrangements with third parties. The attendance varies during the week, this depends on their work, and in the weekends the residents are in the facility around the clock. The activities in the prison are mainly focused on work schedules since the resident are being supported to find work in the community. Besides the working, there is little interaction with the community since the residents are not free to participate in activities in the community. However, the facility recently launched a new pilot project on vertical gardens. On the one hand, residents help build and maintain the vertical gardens. On the other hand, residents also get the opportunity to undergo training in sustainable agriculture and improve the nutritional quality of the meals produced in the prison kitchen.
