The No Juan Left Behind Program is modelled after the successful and widely recognized 'No Woman Left Behind' initiative implemented at QCJ-FD, which has shown significant impact in the lives of persons deprived of liberty.

This program will primarily concentrate on providing comprehensive support in the areas of education, health, and livelihood, ensuring that PDL receive the necessary skills, services, and opportunities to facilitate their successful reintegration into the community.

The โ€œNo Juan Left Behindโ€ program upholds the true essence of rehabilitationโ€”ensuring that every Person Deprived of Liberty, regardless of background or circumstance, is given equal access to education, mental health care, skills training, and reintegration support. By establishing programs like the Mental Health Hub and other developmental initiatives, we are not only strengthening security and discipline but also restoring dignity, hope, and purpose among PDL.

Approving this program means believing in second chancesโ€”that every Juan has the potential to change, to heal, and to contribute positively to the community once released. It is a step toward a more compassionate, inclusive, and progressive correctional system where truly, no Juan is left behind.
