I firmly believe in the principle of the re-educational purpose of punishment and the prisoner, after having served it, must be put in a position to be able to return to a normal life. Therefore, he must be supported in the process of reintegration into the world of work. This is a first notice, another of the same amount will follow in the coming months.”
