Alor Creative made a breakthrough to reach out brothers legally held in prison for crimes they have committed, by carrying out coconut shell craft workshop for the resident inmates at Correctional Institutions (7-14/12/2023) located in the BINKER PRISON building. This activity is important to provide skills after the detention so they can survive and continue living wisely. Finally, there are four people having a hobby to make craft.
Apart
from improving skilled craft workers, in the future, it can support creative
businesses and Alor Creative is ready to accommodate them to produce crafts in
large quantities. Craft businesses in Alor have large market opportunities
because they have a very wide tourism area, ranging from natural, cultural,
religious, and underwater tourism.
During the mentoring activities, 4 brother whom were accompanied felt very happy, because they could do their hobbies while eliminating fatigue and boredom during the detention period. They chose coconut shells craft because the material were easy to get. They made crafts such as cigarette ashtrays and candy holders. It helped them to get used to the principles of making crafts.
During the activity, the Head of Jail House and several employees came to visit as a form of support and appreciation. Many suggestions were given so that more forms of crafts could be done by inmates. "They hope that when they are released from the prison they can change the stigma attached to them, that they always commit crimes," said the head of the prison.
A good adaptation process in society will change the existing negative stigma. Having a harmonious life and good relations with society is everyone's hope, especially ex-prisoners. It is desirable because as social creatures, they need recognition for their existence in society.
Alor Creative hopes that prison residents can become reliable workers to meet market demand, in addition to earning money as extra income even in prison. ***
