Legal instrument Key provision
Prison Law (Basiswet van 12 januari 2005 betreffende het gevangeniswezen en de rechtspositie van de gedetineerden)Social reintegration is one of the goals of imprisonment. The individual detention plan should be the vehicle to further social reintegration. Prisoners have the right to participate in the work that is available in the prison. Following the state reform, however, many of the activities that aim to further social re-integration are organised by the Communities.
