DIFFERENTIATION

The target group of Casa Madre della Riconciliazione consists of adult men who have recently been sentenced to prison. The selection criteria depend on the nature of the offense, the length of the sentence and the person’s consent.

Casa Madre del Perdono is based on the CEC model, which stands for “Educating Community with People Sentenced to Prison.” This project centers on recognizing the inevitability of punitive measures and emphasizing the importance of recovery. This method refers to ten pillars, for example, involvement of the external community, recovering helps recovering, involvement of families of origin, work, spirituality etc. The purpose of the CEC method is to educate people in detention through three phases.

COMMUNITY-INTEGRATION

Casa Madre della Riconciliazione is situated within the community and is easily accessible. People in detention living together with volunteers and people with mental disabilities have the effect of promoting interaction between the residents and the community. In addition, Casa Madre della Riconciliazione is a farm that produces vegetables and delivers them to the community. Residents at the facility can also work within the community. Conversely, the community provides volunteers and donations for Casa Madre della Riconciliazione. Interaction also occurs by organizing community events, such as lunches, religious activities and sports. The religious nature of the facility leads to cooperation with the Catholic Church and some parishes.
