Reach out to prisoners
The majority of our citizens, entirely absorbed by current economic and political issues, rarely think about the need to care for prisoners in Ukraine. After all, the state of correctional system is not perfect. Financing and maintenance of 70 thousand people, who are now in prison, is one of the lowest among the countries of the civilized world. Among other glaring problems should be noted often appalling conditions in the cells, poor nutrition, information and cultural hunger, lack of legal assistance to prisoners, etc., resulting in a depressed psycho-emotional state of people and the feeling of his own powerlessness. Equally important is the assistance to former prisoners who can not independently adapt to their new environment and integrate into society as a full member of it.
On comprehensive assistance to prisoners who find themselves in difficult life situations activity Prison Mission of the Foundation "Hodegetria" directed, carried out in communion with the Church. The participants of the organization and all indifferent ones implementing projects to provide assistance to prisoners in prisons in the material, psychological, moral, and social aspects. We help start life anew those who released from prison and can not find themselves in a changed time of the conclusion of the society. It is also in charge of assistance fund prisoners - patients and all those who need care and support
