Kinouété believes Justice is a process of reparation and that, given the right support, every person can lead a fulfilled life after incarceration.
We provide comprehensive services to our clients so they can successfully re-enter the community.
The association is driven by values that provide an appropriate response to the needs of both prisoners and ex-prisoners:
We care about the people we serve, our team and our country.
We consult and involve the people we serve to ensure we meet their needs.
We believe in the capacity of every person we serve to change their lives.
We respect and value diversity and promote equality of opportunity.
We believe working together is as important as the work we do.

We commit to evaluating our services and developing our 4-year strategic plan.
Our objective is to provide a professional and personalised service to incarcerated and former incarcerated persons. We bring together:
• A team of trained and experienced professionals to support incarcerated and former incarcerated persons;
• A team of qualified counsellors to provide them with psychological support;
• An administrative team to ensure the smooth running of the association’s services and operations
• An executive committee ensuring the rules of good governance are applied and that the association stays true to its mission; and
• Volunteers, who are always welcome to support our teams.
Based in Beau-Bassin, we receive formerly incarcerated persons in our premises every day of the week, between 8.30am and 4pm. With a kitchen, a bathroom and a laundry area, this space allows those who wish to take a moment for themselves and regain their strength.
