In order to further solve the practical difficulties of prisoners who have completed their sentences and find it difficult to find employment, help prisoners better return to society, and increase the confidence of prisoners in reform. Recently, Hulan Prison in Heilongjiang Province launched the signing ceremony for opening up the "last mile" for ex-prisoners to get out of prison and employment and the 2023 annual employment negotiation activity for ex-prisoners, fully mobilizing and using social forces to participate in the work of starting businesses and job placements for ex-prisoners.
Zhang Yucheng, secretary of the party committee and prison director of Hulan Prison in Heilongjiang Province
After investigation, we found that criminals who are about to be released from prison are generally worried about employment after returning home, and the prison party committee regards opening up the "last mile" of employment for released prisoners as an important task to overcome difficulties. The prison actively contacted the Harbin Employment (Service) Center, the Beilin District Bureau of Justice of Suihua City and the (Harbin) Xiangfang District Lihua Vocational Training School, and after joint research, we established the Lihua Vocational Training School to conduct targeted technical training for prisoners in prison, and after the release of prison, the Harbin Employment (Service) Center contacted the enterprise for transitional placement. The establishment of this kind of work placement mechanism for released prisoners not only makes criminals more at ease in prison reform, more attentive to study, and more at ease, but also plays a positive role in promoting and guaranteeing their rapid integration into society, returning to normal life, and reducing the rate of recidivism.
【Explanation】During the activity, representatives of Hulan Prison in Heilongjiang Province and employing enterprises conducted in-depth exchanges on how to solve the "urgent, difficult, worried, and hopeful problems" of ex-prisoners, "training for entrepreneurship and employment guidance", "employment and livelihood ability after leaving prison", and "how to effectively reduce the rate of re-offending by ex-prisoners", reached a high degree of consensus on the construction of a joint "double extension" system of "extending social assistance and education to prisons, and expanding prison education to society", and formally signed a contract. During this event, 70 prisoners who were about to be released from prison signed employment intentions with 8 domestic enterprises including Heilongjiang Chuangyi Human Resources Co., Ltd., Shandong Luoxin Pharmaceutical Group Co., Ltd., and Harbin Qinhan Technology Co., Ltd.
