Golden Path Rehabilitation Programme

The Golden Path Rehabilitation Programme was a UGB state-led scheme for the restoration of civil liberties and restoration into public life for former Elwynnese citizens who fell into disgrace upon the transfer of the Transelwynnese region to the Unified Governorates in 1685 AN. The programme was administered by the Commission of Public Order, reporting to the Commissioner of the same, and thereby came under the ultimate authority of the Internal Security Bureau (Benacia Command). Typical referrals to the programme were of individuals who had refused to sign the Covenant, expressed atheistic beliefs, or who were members of, or were suspected of having voted for, prohibited parties such as Liberazione, the Mishalanski Party for Democratic Socialism, the Tellian Autonomous Republican Party, or the Elwynnese Workers' Party.

Persons transferred to the Golden Path Rehabilitation Programme by the Commission of Public Order came under military discipline, albeit subject to the Commission as auxiliary volunteers attached to the State Security apparatus rather than the Black Legions. Rehabilitation was achieved through a six month period of redemptive labour, usually conducted through working in agriculture, forestry, or at the quarries and brick kilns of Claypits in the Bailiwick of Peroz-Ardashir, followed by three-months of education on N&H Humanist theory. Upon the satisfactory completion of the rehabilitation process, returnees would sign the Covenant and be assigned to a paid apprenticeship in an appropriate profession through the Guilds Labour Exchange of the their registered home district.
