Penal reform

A solid judiciary is crucial because it ensures that penal systems operate fairly, uphold human rights, and contribute to the rehabilitation and reintegration of offenders, rather than solely focusing on punishment. 

This approach not only maintains public safety and trust but also supports social cohesion and reduces the risk of reoffending.

GOPA has experience in projects such as improving prison management and conditions, training prison staff, developing alternatives to detention, supporting the rehabilitation and reintegration of former inmates, strengthening probation services, and promoting the rights and well-being of detainees, especially vulnerable groups like juveniles and women.
