La Ferme de Moyembrie

La Ferme de Moyembrie, located in Coucy-le-Château-Auffrique, about two hours from Paris, is an agro-ecological farm. In 1990, Jacques and Geneviève Pluvinage, retired agricultural engineers, bought a 24-acre plot of land to create a refuge for marginalized people. Jacques, who also visited local prisons, began receiving letters from prisoners who needed help after their release. The Pluvinages welcomed these people and shared their homes and work. In the early 2000s, a judge recognized their efforts, and in 2004, agreements with Reintegration Prison Services allowed them to officially host inmates and help them prepare for reintegration into society. La ferme de Moyembrie was the first agro-ecological farn in France for incarcerated individuals, after which several more opened, such as Ferme Ker de Madeleine and Ferme Emmaüs Baudonne.

Mapped by the RESCALED-movement

Small-scale, differentiated and community-integrated facilities can be found in many European countries. There is not one, but a thousand detention houses. As part of the two-year WISH-EU Project, Prison Insider developed an interactive map that visualizes a database of detention facilities from various European regions. Throughout this European-funded project, we identified and visited over 40 good practices that apply one or more of the following principles: small-scale, differentiation and community-integration. Since then, RESCALED has continued to identify and visit practices whose stories can inspire us to drive systemic change. We have further developed the map to include various filters and detailed reports so you can get to know these inspirational practices!
