The poverty, ignorance and inequality conditions that affect some of the segments

of the population foster that persons accused of committing a misdemeanor, may

not have access to the benefit of being free on bail although they have the right

to it, because they lack the necessary economic resources. in order for people to

obtain a bail, they have to meet the following requirements: they must not have a

criminal record and they have only committed misdemeanors. in addition, with the

support given by

carlos slim foUndaTion to the re-education Therapeutic

Community, there is a special attention program for young offenders between 15

and 18 years old.

The Social Justice program supports its beneficiaries in their reintegration to their

families, to productive activities and to society with new tools for life, through

human development courses and professional psychological help. in this manner,

the  objective  is  to  try  to  avoid  that,  because  they  committed  misdemeanors,

there would be a big social cost that would impact the person, his or her family

and also society at large, due to the effects caused by family disintegration. a

significant number of the beneficiaries of this program are indigenous persons

living in poverty conditions.
