High
managers of the penitentairy institutions in
Albania are trained
On
24 January 2008 AHC with its international
expert Mr. Jan van den Brand introduced an
effective tool of measuring the climate and
treatment of prisoners with humanity in prisons
as well as treated another very important issue
like the role of the governors in the treatment
of vulnerable prisoners. The audit tool helps
get the perceptions of both prisoners and staff
on service-delivery and service quality; gives
the opportunities to both prisoners and staff to
comment on a range of important issues and their
experiences in the penal institutions and gives
space to the GDP and local penal institutions to
analyze the situation and how to improve it
further and exchange best practices among penal
institutions and learn from their colleagues.
The last but not the least,
the benefit of
such a tool is that it is standardised,
comprehensive and objective. AHC has recommended
that the Albanian Prison System implement this
tool in at least some pilot penal institutions.
On 1-3 April 2008 AHC organized a
training session with all the governors of the
penitentiary institutions of Albania. The
international experts Mr. Jan van den Brand and
Mr. Jacques van Huet with lots of experience in
penitentiary issues gave their precious
contribution in this activity. AHC had the honor
to invite one of the Senior Trainers of the
Dutch Prison System Mrs. Mirjam Dierckxsens who
has trained all the general governors of Dutch
prison system, also all local governors as well.
The training was focused on
several important issues related to the planning
and delegation; giving the right information and
feedback; making decision; activity planning and
the relation between them; defining and
allocating of the sources etc.
All the participants were
provided with a full file with all the training
materials. The participants highly appreciated
the quality of the training and considered it as
very useful and practical in their everyday
work.
