The Zimbabwe Prisons and Correctional Services (ZPCS) Masvingo is gearing up for the upcoming Family Week celebrations scheduled to take place from April 28 to May 4.
Provincial Rehabilitation Officer, Sabina Chikwizo says the event aims to strengthen family bonds and promote rehabilitation.
“Family Week is an important event that allows us to reconnect with our loved ones and work towards healing and rehabilitation,” Chikwizo said. “We encourage families to participate in the activities planned and take advantage of the opportunity to bond with their incarcerated relatives.”
The celebrations will feature various activities, including entertainment from inmates. Chikwizo emphasised that the event plays a utility role in promoting rehabilitation and reintegration of offenders into the society.
“We believe that strong family ties play a significant role in the rehabilitation process,” Chikwizo added. “By engaging with their families, offenders can receive the support and encouragement that they need in order to reform and become productive members of society.”
The ZPCS Masvingo is committed to promoting rehabilitation and reintegration through initiatives like Family Week. The event is expected to bring joy and hope to the incarcerated individuals and their families.
