A bill proposes agricultural activities and vocational training for inmates in DRC

A bill sponsored by Deputy Elvis Atsongya Kiyaya, declared admissible on October 9 at the National Assembly, aims to enhance the socio-professional reintegration of inmates in the DRC. It proposes agricultural activities, vocational training, and the issuance of certificates to help former inmates find employment. The legislation modifies the penitentiary law to include productive activities within prisons, the establishment of trade schools, and a savings system where at least 40% of inmates’ wages are saved for their release.
