Cluj secondary school students visit  in Aiud Prison 


          During the 3rd and 4th May 2011, Rescue Humanitarian Foundation  in collaboration  with Aiud Prison and Nicolae Titulescu School of Cluj-Napoca organized two visit for 45 students of class VIII, from Nicolae Titulescu School  Cluj-Napoca in  Aiud Prison.
          The aims of the visit were to prevent  juvenile delinquency  and  crime among students and learning from the mistakes of others, in this case the juveniles from prison.
After we realized an immerse  of students in the prison  environment  through a virtual tour and discussion of issues related to the administrative organization of the prison, we attended a meeting  with students and 9 minors imprisoned  in the  Aiud Penitentiary. The meeting works as a debate, in the the beginning the minors detained presented their life story and the way they commit the deed, then followed questions and comments from students. Incarcerated juveniles have presented their own experience and possible factors that have influenced in reaching in prison. In turn, students have suggested a possible solution for incarcerated minors to give up crime after release. The meeting resulted in the pointing of factors that lead to committing a crime: lack of education, group of friends and peer pressing, family problems (one-parent family, disobeying parents),alcohol and drugs use, the possibility of a high gain in a short time.
The meeting was chaired by psychologists from Psychosocial Service from Aiud Prison, Horea Nistor Rescue Foundation psychologist, school psychologist Lorena Muresan with participation of teachers' accompanying.
