How is intellectual disability experienced in prison?
Professionals and inmates from the Department of Specialised Care for Intellectual and Developmental Disabilities (DAE-DID) at the Quatre Camins prison will visit the UAB to explain the day-to-day life at the centre, the characteristics and functioning of the DAE-DID and the importance of volunteering.
The Fundació Autònoma Solidària is organising a talk on 6 November, from 11 a.m. to 1 p.m., in the Comtec room (2nd floor of the Communication Library and General Newspaper Archive of the UAB), on how diversity is dealt with in a penitentiary centre.
Professionals and inmates from the Department of Specialised Care for Intellectual and Developmental Disabilities (DAE-DID) will be present to explain the daily life in the centre, the characteristics and functioning of the DAE-DID, the importance of volunteering and how inmates themselves perceive it.
The DAE-DID is a space in the Quatre Camins Penitentiary Centre, in La Roca del Vallés, which aims to cover inmates with intellectual or developmental disabilities and who need an environment that is adapted to their specific characteristics, avoiding possible situations of risk and abuse and improving the intervention and their quality of life.

Fundació Autònoma Solidària's Justice Programme
This activity is organised by the FAS Justice Programme, with the aim of raising awareness among the UAB university community about the reality of prisons in Catalonia and the importance of promoting social reintegration processes, thus breaking myths and stigmas associated with inmates in prisons and this reality.
The programme, which is carried out in collaboration with and with the support of the Ministry for Justice of the Generalitat de Catalunya, helps to break the isolation of people deprived of liberty and to promote their integration and social reintegration through the voluntary involvement of UAB students who promote activities in the prisons themselves (Brians I, Brians II and Quatre Camins). Specifically, in the DAE-DID of Quatre Camins, physical and sporting, cultural, artistic, and leisure and personal development activities are promoted.
