New DJIzien released
DJIzien has received a refresh. The reason for this is the transition of all magazines from the Dutch government to a new format. DJIzien is now part of the DJI website. This also means that previous editions of DJIzien can no longer be accessed via the old address, but are available in our archive.
DJIzien is the relationship magazine of DJI. The magazine provides an insight into the workings of DJI and its collaboration with chain partners. In this edition, among other things, a story about the opening of a Limited Security Department, driven by the capacity challenges faced by DJI.
Also a story about the collaboration between DJI and Saxion University of Applied Sciences. This year, the HBO programme in forensic care started, a unique programme that perfectly aligns with the work in forensic care.
Furthermore, a report on the symposium Women in Detention, where experts and stakeholders discuss the needs of women in detention. A topical subject.
Also an article about the iftar recently held by the Islamic Spiritual Care Service of DJI. Among other things, the discussion focused on Islam behind bars and what this requires from DJI employees.
With airbrush artist Mark Beerepoot, we take a tour of JC Zaanstad, where he created colourful murals.
In the RJJIs, innovative digital tools are increasingly being used in the treatment of young people. In this story, three employees share their experiences.
And finally, an informative piece on the role of victim interests in granting freedoms. A close collaboration between various partners in the chain.
