The project 'Prisoners on the move. Move into sport, move through sport!' is situated within detention. Prisoners are (temporary) excluded from society because of their sentence. Yet, every prisoner preserves the right to education, culture, healthcare, well-being, work and sport. Therefore it 's important that there is an aid and service offered to prisoners. In spite of the fact that the sports sector has taken big steps forward in its social functions in the last decenium, prisoners remain within the 'Sport for All-policy' mostly out of the picture.
