DIFFERENTIATION

The target group of Řepy prison are women between 20 and 70 years old. The facility accommodates women with a sentence of liberty deprivation.

Although residents are allowed to go outside regularly, they cannot move freely in the community.

COMMUNITY-INTEGRATION

The prison for women in Řepy engages with the local community, by fostering a positive interaction and contributing to the betterment of both the residents and the surrounding area. On the one hand, the residents are expected to participate in several activities outside the facility, which is why there is already a lot of interaction between the residents and the community. On the other hand, they have different partnerships with local organizations to help the residents find a job. Many residents are working in the community, such as in St. Karel Boromejský House for the elderly. One of the reasons the collaboration between the facility and the house for the elderly started was a lack of staff. By cooperation, the residents of the facility could help to solve the employment problem. In addition, residents work in the Prague 17 Municipal District Office by doing cleaning work in the office or outdoor areas and in the kindergarten in Čimice.
