By initiating reformation programs for prison inmates and reintegration opportunities to released inmates for the reduction in recidivism also facilitate welfare programs for their children to save them from becoming victims of their parental incarceration.

Rebuild Lives of Children

Through Education Projects that comprise of Creche Program and Children of Vulnerable Families Program.

Inside Prison Program

After Serving their terms in Prison, many inmates go through a series of mental health issues. This experience is highly traumatic for many of them. Getting back to "normalcy" is extremely difficult and requires a lot of care and support. At India Vision foundation, we developed the INDIA PRISON PROGRAM that aims to reform inmates (male, youth, female) under its 45 model of reformation.

Early Childhood Care Development Program (ECCD)

India Vision Foundation firmly believes in the saying, “Children are the future”. The ECCD Program mainly engages with children of prison inmates and it has been developed to ensure all children under the age of 6 years have quality access to early childhood development, care and pre-primary education. The intention has been to educate and equip these children with tools that will empower them.

Children of Vulnerable Families Program (CVF)

The program aims to mainstream & educate the children of incarcerated families after the age of 6 years; ensure their all-round development through various interventions to help them accomplish their academic, social, emotional goals and save them from becoming a victim of their parental incarceration.

Reintegration & Rehabilitation Program

It enables the released inmates to embark on a new journey by putting their prison life behind. The aim of this program is to help the inmates recognize their talent and strengthen their self-respect. This reduces the chances of reoffending and in turn, helps them smoothly reintegrate back into society.

Training of Prison Officials

The training program aims at sensitizing prison officials about prison reforms. While it is essential to bring physiological and psychological changes to the inmates, it is equally important that the prison officials develop a sense of empathy, learn how to resolve prison problems, learn how to see inmates as work in progress and treat them like a human resource and help create an environment favorable for the emotional, social, physical and psychological development of the inmates.

Present In 8 States

Despite the goals’ ethos of “leaving no one behind”, recognising people in prison is noticeably absent from the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). Indicators relevant to fulfil the goals are proposed while meeting the prison health standards. The political, social and economic challenges alongside the unparalleled COVID-19 pandemic that can resist the realisation of the SDG’s is a crucial part of our assessment.

TESTIMONIALS

What do people have to say about us?

The sessions were very educative both on a personal & professional level. I learnt a lot from different states. I really liked the session by Sh. Yahspal Singhal, DG sir which helped us to creatively handle and resolve problems. I particularly liked the Jail environment of Gurgaon Prison. IVF has done great work especially for children.

Swathi SatheDIG Maharashtra

I have attended my first training outside my state and learnt a lot from this training. I was confused with the name of the training but at this platform I have actually seen and also got an opportunity to learn something. I learnt that we can be a change makers and Mr. Singh is role model for me I can see how prisoners can be mainstreamed and how we can treat prisoners like a human resource. Also, India Vision Foundation’s contribution is amazing I hope it gets replicated to other parts of the country also.

Manas RanjanUdala, Orissa

I have learnt about the phone calling system and Phoenix software. During our exposure to Rohtak & Jhajjar Prison I learnt about the drip irrigation system. The hospitality by the Prison administration was amazing in Haryana. Also, the work done by India Vision Foundation inside prison is amazing!

Kona RaghuSP, Central Prison, Andhra Pradesh

It is a practical training and I felt very motivated. There were two hosts one was the NGO and the other was Prison Administration. This training helped us to aim to do well and also after seeing this collaborative model of NGO & Prison I feel together we can make a lot of difference inside the prison.
