In Cuiabá, approximately 20 volunteers underwent training from September 10 to 12 for the ‘A Viagem do Prisioneiro’ (AVP) program. This training serves as a preparatory step for individuals working with incarcerated populations and precedes the implementation of the first Association for the Protection and Assistance of Convicts (Apac) in Mato Grosso.

The initiative is a partnership between the Operational Support Center (CAO) of Criminal Execution of the Public Prosecutor's Office of Mato Grosso (MPMT), the Court of Justice of Mato Grosso (TJMT), and the Brazilian Fraternity for Assistance to Convicts (FBAC). Led by national coordinator Adilza Mendes Paraíso, the course prepared participants to apply the AVP methodology, with initial efforts directed toward the Ana Maria do Couto May Women's Penitentiary. The program aims to promote meetings focused on strengthening values and restoring hope within prison environments.
