Maat center ended yesterday evening "Sunday" its first training course of thirty social leaders in the frame work of its program to" spread social peace and rejoin families of prisoners and detainees in the society", in cooperation with US Agency for International Development USAID.

The three training days ended with establishing a work plan for thirty social leaders to communicate with marginal classes and to serve families of prisoners and detainees in six governorates ;( Cairo, Giza, Al Dakahlia, Alexandria, Al Menia, Asyoot) in cooperation with some executive bodies that may offer causes to facilitate life of these families in the absence of their sustainer. Attendance asserted the importance of direct negotiation with responsible executives to organize and increase visits of prisoners and detainees by their families, to offer health care for prisoners inside jails and to allow them to enjoy family occasions outside jails, to offer cultural amusing programs, to assert their right in repeated and continues communication with their relatives, and to execute judicial reports to release detainees and prove the real periods of their detention in official certificates to ensure their right in proper compensation for them and their families. Social leaders asserted their commitment through their effective associations in social work to support prisoners' families and to do their best to achieve their life needs through developing projects. They also asserted their commitment to watch educations of these families' children and their attitude in the absence of their sustainer, to correct relations of these families' members in their community, and to work in order to change the consideration of society members towards them, as they are not responsible of their relatives' detention or imprisoning.
