Turkish inmate environmental and reforestation programs

Overview

In Turkey, correctional institutions have implemented programs utilizing inmate labor for environmental and conservation efforts as part of social reintegration initiatives.

In Manavgat, inmates from the Manavgat Open Penal Institution began participating in a ‘Voluntary Work Model’ to perform landscaping and cleaning in public areas such as parks, beaches, and picnic sites. The program, coordinated by the Manavgat Chief Public Prosecutor's Office and the local municipality, aims to foster social responsibility and reduce prejudices between the community and correctional facilities.

In the Balıkesir province, a similar collaborative effort between the Bandırma Chief Public Prosecutor's Office and the Forestry Directorate has deployed 60 inmates across five districts: Bandırma, Gönen, Manyas, Susurluk, and Erdek. These participants are tasked with tree marking, maintenance, and the rehabilitation of areas damaged by forest fires. The project covers approximately 880 hectares, with the objective of completing reforestation in the targeted areas within one year.
