Rehabilitation aims to reintegrate convicted individuals back into society to reduce recidivism. Successful rehabilitation involves maintaining connections to the outside world, learning new skills, and clear regulations regarding an individual's records. A study found that 77% of released prisoners were rearrested within 5 years, with 43% rearrested in the first year. Rehabilitation transforms individuals, conditions their mind to change behaviors and attitudes, and provides a long-term solution compared to just punishment. It allows people to start anew and find meaning in life.

3. Rehabilitation is the reintegration into the society of a convicted
person and the main objective of modern penal policy, to counter
habitual offending, also known as Recidivism.
Alternatives to imprisonment also exist, such as community service,
probation orders, and others entailing guidance and aftercare towards
the defender.

7. 77 percent of released prisoners are re-arrested within five years.
In the most recent study of recidivism, 77 percent of state
prisoners who were released in 2005 had been arrested again
by 2010. Recidivism is highest immediately after release: 43
percent of released prisoners are rearrested during the first
year. By contrast, those who are not quickly rearrested are
less likely to recidivate. Measured in terms of incarceration
rather than arrest, recidivism is lower: 55 percent of released
state prisoners had a parole or probation violation or a new
arrest that led to reincarceration during the first five years.

10. WHY IT SHOULD BE DONE
 Criminals are not born but are
forced to become .Crime is not a
choice but a situational last resort.
 A serious thought –No bird or
animal has ever been branded as
criminal. Humans are believed and
proved to be more intelligent than any
other creature. Still they are found to
be most violent and intolerable.

11. • Rehabilitation completely transforms the
person who, after the process is ready to live in
the real world.
• Rehabilitation ensures the conditioning of the
mind to change his behavior, perception and
the attitude toward the society and the system.
• To curb crime, punishment is proved to be
deterrent or a lesson for sometime but doesn't a
life time guarantee for good conduct.

now a lecturer and advocate for
female prisoners, received her
university degree whilst in prison.
She sees real potential for prisoners –
especially women who are often
escaping from toxic environments
outside jail – as having an opportunity
to start afresh during their
incarceration.Kerry Tucker

14. Burnside agrees rehabilitation
needs to be a central purpose
but he doesn’t see prison is
necessary to achieving that goal.
He suggested house arrest as a
solution. He argued when
coupled with community
service, it would be more
successful for rehabilitation as
better meet the goals of justice
and community safety.

Thompson's pitch, developed over six
months with Northern social services
agencies, Northern chiefs and input from
even Ken Champagne, chief judge of the
provincial court, and other local judges,
defense lawyers and Crown attorneys,
detailed in a glossy concept plan, was
for a restorative justice campus-like facil
housing 220 inmates - men, women and
youth - and both remanded and
sentenced prisoners, who would be
able to participate in various addictions,
educational and cultural programs.

16. Remarkable Results of rehabilitation
Whether the program is administered by correspondence or in person, the results are
remarkable. In a world plagued by violence and crime.
One recent graduate said, “I’ve been a three-time loser in prison. I was
disliked and I had no use for the values of life. New things have
changed in me because now I’ve found how the simple principles of
life helped me find a new meaning. I love life, people and mainly
myself! It put new meaning in me that I never thought would ever
happen in me. I’ve found my ‘Way to Happiness,’ and I only wish I
could give you what I now have.”
and another, a juvenile, wrote,
“I can be something in life. Before I just wanted to be a gang member.”
