Efforts to support prison rehabilitation and social welfare have been documented through various material donations and vocational programs in Uruguay, Spain, and Colombia. In Uruguay, initiatives have included the donation of electrical materials from correctional facilities to social welfare organizations to fund projects for children and the elderly. ~~Additionally, programs~~ Programs such as Pelota al Medio a la Esperanza and the National Institute of Rehabilitation (INR) have utilized incarcerated individuals for school maintenance and renovation projects. Supported by the National Administration of Public Education (ANEP), a pilot initiative is currently underway at School No. 155 ‘República Federativa de Alemania’ in Colonia Nicolich. Inmates from Unit No. 7 are performing improvements to the schoolyard during spring break to avoid disrupting classes, providing participants with construction skills and an opportunity to contribute positively to society. In Spain, religious and charitable organizations have provided sports equipment, books, and musical instruments to penitentiary centers to promote personal development and coexistence among inmates. ~~Meanwhile, in~~ In Colombia, the ‘Artesanando’ project has focused on teaching incarcerated youth traditional crafts, such as Barniz de Pasto, to foster social reintegration and emotional management. The project recently concluded its latest phase at the Santo Ángel Juvenile Detention Center in Pasto, integrating academic learning with practical workshop skills to promote conflict resolution and the preservation of intangible human heritage.
