In Brazil, judicial and administrative institutions are implementing programs to improve professional qualification and social reintegration for incarcerated individuals in Mato Grosso and Bahia. In Mato Grosso, the Regional Labor Court (TRT-23) has engaged the business sector to support employment programs for inmates, addressing hiring prejudices. This effort supports the National Council of Justice (CNJ) ‘Plano Pena Justa’, which targets a 70% employment rate for eligible inmates within prisons by 2028. In Bahia, a technical cooperation agreement involving the Court of Justice (TJBA), the Public Defender’s Office, the Secretariat of Penitentiary Administration and Resocialization (SEAP), and Senai has established the ‘Liberdade em Curso’ project. This initiative provides technical training through Senai alongside citizenship education modules, such as family law and domestic violence prevention, to facilitate labor market entry and social reintegration. ## Timeline ### 2026-09-16: Educational training programs launched for Brazilian professionals New educational training opportunities in Brazil include a psychomotor development workshop in Palmitos and a free online audiovisual course for municipal educators in Campinas. 2 sources. https://clstr.news/cluster/educational-training-programs-launched-for-brazilian-professionals ### 2026-09-13: Brazil expands professional training and employment programs for inmates Brazilian judicial authorities in Mato Grosso and Bahia are implementing new programs to provide professional training and employment opportunities for incarcerated individuals to aid social reintegration. 2 sources. https://clstr.news/cluster/brazil-expands-professional-training-and-employment-programs-for-inmates --- Cite as: Brazil inmate professional training and reintegration.
