Group II
APACs which administrate the Social Reintegration Center (In its own building, in a state building, leased or annexed to the city jail), without the help of police or prison officers, with partial application of the twelve key elements. These APACs administrate Centers in the manner described in Group I, however apply partially the APAC methodology.
It is important to mention that some APACs which are in group II, only have semi open and/or open regime, but it is already included in their plan to extend the work to recuperandos in closed regime. It’s common to find in some countries, such as: Chile, Costa Rica, Colombia and others, APAC method being partially applied in designated pavilions of prisons.
