Guideline To Rehabilitate Criminals Into The Society

By Elsa English


The consistent higher levels of re-offending have led to a radical renovation as almost half the total number of ex-convicts re offends in less than a year on their release. The figure is higher at about fifty eight percent in those that serve for terms of less than one year. The drafted new proposal is established to rehabilitate criminals so as to see a drop in re-offenses rates. The following is what is entailed in it.

Plans which are underway in the bid to transform rehabilitation focus on new and streamlined public sector that will be tasked in ensuring the public is safe from dangerous and high risk offenders. The private and voluntary organizations are to work hand in hand on eliminating the cycle of criminal justice system by tackling risk offenders of lower caliber. The first time offenders and those serving for less than a year will be subject to tailored rehab and compulsory supervision once released from prison.

The proposal sets for major use of mentors who are to meet the lawbreakers at prisons gates. They are to be given support in their day to day aspects of their life. Restoring them by giving help in seeking jobs and accommodation, tackling drugs, alcohol and other addictions and checking on their literacy and educational problems is also overseen.

Releasing offenders into the society with only a minute amount of cash and with no available support helps in no way. It is not a big deal that we get increased higher level of released criminals re-offending the crimes. It therefore makes no sense to continue with the exact old system and yet keep hoping for positive different results.

We are well aware of the existence of expertise and wealth across the private, public and voluntary sectors. We are supposed to unlock this potential so that we can in the long run commence to tackle down the stubbornly high rates of re-offending. The private and voluntary sectors will get invitation to bid with each contract being awarded based on innovation and best value in tackling re-offending.

The proposal sets to see that persons who get sentenced into jails or probation are punished adequately while getting assistance to convert from doing wrongs for good. It will reflect to spending the taxpayers money on any tasks in the process of slashing down crime rates. The public segment is expected to maintain the chief responsibility of protecting the general public in all situations.

This new approach will oversee to that the private providers get paid in full only on condition that they are able to reduce re-offending rates in their areas. It will be based on payment by results contract. These proposals are aimed at driving advanced innovations and efficiency through the system of criminal justice. An amount of money is also to be offered to voluntary and communal sector groups in order to ensure they get ready to commence bidding for services.

The above elements in the set proposals have been analyzed and have been deemed fit to help in tackling the rate of re-offense. They are well set in a way that will ensure the ex-convict integrates properly into the society and be on a better position to find a genuine source of livelihood.
