The Mayor of the Canary Islands, Yamandú Orsi, declared in this regard that “we have been working with prisoners for a long time and the most emblematic work is that of the Solís Chico stream promenade in Parque del Plata, a work that took a long time. Later we worked a lot in public spaces with people deprived of their liberty, both from Santiago Vázquez and from the Canelones prison”.
Orsi added that these works are necessary every year before the start of the season: “every year the descents have to be repaired or put in new ones, it is a well-coordinated job with the INR that allows us, on the one hand, to lend a hand, but On the other hand, it is very good for us because it is labor that works very well and that gives results, so this is part of a process that we have to deepen, make it a little more extended throughout the year, “said the Mayor .
The Departmental Government, in agreement with the National Directorate of Education of the Ministry of Education and Culture (MEC), has been developing the National Plan for Education in Prisons (PNEC) in Prison Unit No. 7, Canelones Prison.
