TIJUANA BC (En Linea Tijuana, 5/26/11) - A total of 24 inmates joined their lives this morning with their respective partners, as part of a campaign "Marriage group" carried out by the Secretariat of Public Security of the State (SSPE) through the State Penal System. At about 11 a.m. at the Center for Social Reintegration, a civil ceremony took place, which legally merged the lives of 24 inmates at the Center, with their respective spouses. This complies with established strategies within the SSPE Strategic Model of Social Reinsertion. The Assistant Secretary of the State penitentiary system, Jesús Héctor Grijalva Tapia congratulated the new spouses by taking this important step of marriage. “It is the beginning of forming a new family. It is the Union of their lives, to help them move forward in the way of reintegrating into society, and I hope they're happy.” Grijalva Tapia said, "The actions that the SSPE takes in prison are intended to dignify the conditions of the penitentiary system in Baja California, as well as to strengthen the programs and mechanisms of rehabilitation and social reintegration of inmates into society." Also during the event, registration was carried out for the birth to six minor children of inmates at the Center for Social Reintegration. This is another act in further reaching the prison population and their families. The civil ceremony was attended by family and friends of the group, who shared the important moment with each of the couples. "Despite being in a difficult situation and for the distance, it’s always good to know there are people waiting for you with longing", said one of the inmates who got married. In addition, the music group Cereso graced a celebration after the ceremony, during which they shared food with family and friends, while enjoying a healthy, fun atmosphere. Above all, they were with their loved ones.
