Today, Help handed over wood and metal processing equipment to the Directorate for the Execution of Criminal Sanctions (UIKS), as a continuation of Help’s support to the prison in Spuž.
The current director of UIKS, Rade Vojvodić and the future Darko Vukčević, who will take up that position on December 15, emphasized the importance of this donation not only for the prisoners but also for the institution.
Donors from the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, Michael Martin and Ruth-Ann Martin, along with representatives of Help, Dženan Demić and Irina Stamatović, attended the presentation of valuable equipment to the UIKS administration.
This state-of-the-art equipment, including woodworking and metalworking machines with accompanying licensed training for prisoners, will in many ways positively affect their position by creating skills that will facilitate their reintegration into society after serving their sentence.
Help has been continuously supporting the UIKS in their efforts to strengthen the self-sustainability of this institution through the reconstruction and equipping of its farm and workshops, as well as through training programs that will enable inmates to adapt and socialize more easily after completing their sentence.
