The Ministry of Justice and the Regional Government of the Azores have signed a protocol to enhance the training and socio-professional preparation of young inmates, aiming to foster entrepreneurial skills and facilitate their return to society.

The Minister of Justice, Rita Alarcão Júdice, and the Secretary of State for Justice, Gonçalo da Cunha Pires, formalized this Tuesday, at the Angra do Heroísmo Prison Establishment, a cooperation agreement.
