A first step in order to develop the mentoring programme for prison staff is the development of a blueprint of the mentoring process including a mentor profile and training content.

This document presents the prison staff mentoring blueprint, including information on the mentoring structure, the mentor profile and role, and the mentor training. It is the theory cornerstone of the M4Pris project and serves as the basis for the development of all the subsequent project activities as it clarifies how a prison mentoring programme should be structured, developed and implemented.
