Justice meets Innovations: Social Enterprises and Detention Houses

β€’ RESCALED β€’ Season 1 β€’ Episode 5

πŸŽ™οΈ Welcome to Let's Talk RESCALED, the podcast where we dive deep into the heart of justice reform. Hosted by Noa Shoshan and brought to you by RESCALED, a European Movement dedicated to reshaping our approach to incarceration.

In our fifth episode, host Noa Shoshan engages in an insightful conversation with Chiara Serafini, an Italian socio-pedagogical worker focusing on harm reduction and social justice, and Duarte Fonseca, a Portuguese consultant and co-founder of Reshape, an association supporting the dignified reintegration of formerly incarcerated people.

During this episode, we explore the powerful connection between social enterprises and detention houses. Our guests share their experiences from the INSPIRE project, discussing how social enterprises can create employment opportunities while supporting the reintegration of incarcerated people.

πŸ’‘ Discover how detention houses facilitate more normalized environments where residents can develop skills, build self-esteem, and maintain community connections. Learn about the challenges and opportunities in creating sustainable social enterprises that balance business needs with social impact, while respecting labor rights and dignity.

In this episode, you’ll also learn about RESHAPE Ceramics, a social enterprise in Portugal that employs incarcerated individuals to create high-quality ceramic products, providing them with income, valuable skills, and a profound sense of self-worth.

"The first thing is that a social enterprise has to be a means for social inclusion." - Chiara Serafini
