Status: Parliament is still discussing this proposal, for example in a committee or while waiting for advice. (parliament: ‘to be considered in plenary session’)
In plain language
- From 1 January 2027, the Flemish government will centralise the coordination of sports, culture, and education in prisons under a single agency.
- Staff from the non-profit organisations De Rode Antraciet and Vocvo will transfer to the Justice and Enforcement Agency, provided they pass a selection process.
- Inmates will keep their re-integration courses and activities, while the transfer is budget-neutral for you as a taxpayer through existing subsidies.
