Corrective Services NSW Community Projects Program is a successful community based rehabilitation program for people in custody. Each correctional centre in New South Wales identifies worthy projects in consultation with local government and non-profit organisations.
Only people in custody with appropriate security classifications can work on community projects outside correctional centres. Inmates participating in the program are involved in a variety of maintenance and building projects which not only benefit the local communities but also provide training and work experience. This training and work experience is beneficial to the inmates, as they work towards their reintegration back into the community.
The Community Projects Program also provides assistance to local councils for projects that in most cases would not have been allocated council resources and therefore not undertaken at all. Typical work involves ground maintenance, tree planting, rubbish removal and painting, plus building and fence repairs.
For over three years, the Community Projects and CSI teams at Kirkconnell have been supporting the local region by providing, planting, and maintaining gardens, with a special feature – daffodils. Read how they are doing this.
