Ending the program "Passport for Freedom" in Aiud Prison

From March to October 2013 Rescue Humanitarian Foundation has developed a psychological counselling program in Aiud Prison named ”Passport for freedom” for a group of people in detention in the maximum security section who have committed facts with sexual connotations.
            The philosophy of the program is adapted after Sex Offender Treatment Program – SOTP (Marshall &co 2001). The purpose of the program was to provide psychological support and assistance to persons who have committed sexual offenses, to reduce the risk of both sexual and general recidivism.
            The program was attended by 10 adult males definitively convicted for a penalty of a sexual nature, of which 7 were able to be present until the end. Rest of them were transferred to other penitentiary or a different section. The program included individual and group meetings each week with a total length of 7 months. The results of the program consist in changing participants' thinking about female and have reduced gender stereotypes, have developed social skills and interpersonal relation, identify possible causes for their criminal behaviour and found alternatives behaviour.
