| Programme objectives | Improved correctional system in Latvia |
| What to achieve | The current prison staff training system in Latvia contains significant gaps in both theoretical and practical content of training, and there is no availability of modern and appropriate infrastructure. Reforms of the correction services system in Latvia will continue, with an increasingly important the effectiveness of the execution process, by promoting the introduction of dynamic security principles in the day-to-day operation of the correction services. In order to continue the initiated reforms, there is a need for properly trained correctional staff, modern working methods and infrastructure to ensure proper correctional staff training. Within the framework of the programme, it is planned to establish a modern training centre infrastructure for training opportunities in the Olaine prison territory. As well as to provide modern training content and internship opportunities for the staff of the Latvian Prison Administration and the State Probation Service. |
