What is it about?
Appreciation of the Jury

Vinarice prison mainly accommodates repeat offenders with ever new, long-term sentences. Upon release, without material and social support, their return into prison is almost certain. To be able to do something whilst in prison, and what more is: something that prepares for the world “out there”, is worth its weight in gold. With innovative vigour, 'Change is Possible' builds a bridge for an unpopular target group. A bridge from a closed system into a world that has not only become foreign but downright hostile for the former detainees. So far, this bridge has mostly stood firm: 18% – instead of the usual 70% –had to return to the closed system. If all cooperate, then several such bridges could be built.
