The office of prisons (Juv) is concerned, among other things, that convicted offenders serve their sentence. However, the focus of the implementation by the competent member of the cantonal government Jacqueline Fehr for tight holds. That’s why you said earlier in the spring, on the occasion of the 20-year Celebration of the office to its employees: “you are more than law enforcement.” She wanted to focus more on reintegration. That is why Fehr called on all employees, name of proposals, such as the office re-named to be.

A working group has dealt since then with the naming Convention and presented at the end of October the result: “correctional and reintegration” is it hot new. “Without the office, because that goes without saying,” writes Fehr to your employees in a letter submitted to the TA.

“communication premiere”

With the change of name Fehr in the first place has their employees in mind. You held the Walch tower in front of 80 employees to an information event. Who wanted to, could follow the presentation of the new Name, even online: “A communication premiere”, it means in the Intranet of the Directorate of Justice.

Fehrs main message: 99 percent of the offenders and criminal offenders be released from prison again. Every day opens in the Canton of Zurich in the sectional more than once the gate to freedom: “you are sitting next to us in the Tram or buy one in Migros. You will be back to our neighbors,” writes Fehr to your employees.

Therefore, it is the Central task of these people to a crime-free life prepare: “The new Name shows how important is the aspect of reintegration, and it is to help us consider again inclusion is the overarching objective of our work.”

Colourful Logo designed

to give this matter the emphasis, was commissioned from a graphic artist in Zurich, a Logo for the Juwe, such as correctional and reintegration abbreviated to hot, to create. The Logo shows four colored lines around the abbreviation Juwe. The strokes, however, are not closed to a circle, because they are supposed to symbolize that the sentences of imprisonment “at some point done”. Cost point for the new Logo: 4020 francs.

The Logo is intended solely for the internal use such as internal communication, says Fehrs speaker Benjamin Tommer on request. The official Logo everything remains the same: Züri-Leu with Züri-coat-of-arms, as well by the prison to the Corporate Identity of the Canton. Only the lettering will be changed.

A new Logo for the new Image used in The Logo is only for internal communication.

With the launch of the new Website it is then called the “correctional and reintegration”. Then the label of the signs or E-Mail is adapted to the signatures. Only then the Public should be informed about the renaming.

business cards, stationery or Envelopes with the words “the office for judicial enforcement” will not be thrown away. How much this new designation will cost we can only estimate in the spring of 2020, says Tommer.

detention to avoid

Apart from the new designation and the colored Logo for internal use, is structurally changed nothing. Re-integration is today a Central task of the prison system, says Tommer. If it is possible, will be done without a detention. “The place of a jail stay, community service work, Semi-detention and Electronic Monitoring occur, provided that the legal and individual requirements are met.”

So they wanted to prevent that people are ripped from their social environment, such as work and family. An environment that would otherwise be after the dismissal, only painstakingly rebuilt.
