Afghanistan Prisoner Rehabilitation Programs
Proposed funding for this initiative would support programming activities that improve conditions and post-release outcomes for incarcerated populations in Afghanistan. Activities might include, but are not limited to the following components. Individual proposals do not need to address all components. A.Vocational Programs – activities that teach inmates locally-appropriate job skills (e.g., carpet weaving, metal works, sewing/tailoring, baking, auto mechanics). This can, but does not have to, include support and/or start-up materials to help establish recently-released prisoners in these occupations. B.Industries Programs – activities that generate income for the prison through the activities of inmates (e.g., carpet weaving, metal works, sewing/tailoring, baking, carpentry, agriculture, animal husbandry/livestock). This can, but does not have to, include support and/or start-up materials to help establish recently-released prisoners in these occupations. C.Agricultural Programs – activities that produce nutritious food for use at the prison using locally-appropriate, sustainable techniques (e.g. crop cultivation, animal husbandry/livestock). This can, but does not have to, include support and/or start-up materials to help recently-released prisoners put their new skills into practice. D.Educational Programs – subject matter might include, but is not limited to, literacy, mathematics, English language, and computer skills.
