Many offenrs commit more crimes after serving their first punishment. Why is this happening, and what measures can be taken to tackle this problem?

There are numerous former

convicts

who perform criminal acts even after serving their

first

sentence. In my opinion,

this

happens because there is a lack of rehabilitation

program

inside the

jail

and due to the scarcity of company that accepts them. I think the

government

should focus more on the reformation of these people rather than punishing them.

Firstly

, there are only a few companies that accept the previous felon due to their criminal record.

This

results in a feeling of alienation and they are left with no choice but to resort to their old ways.

Additionally

, there is a lack of support programs that the

government

is implementing when the prisoner is outside the

jail

. They should be monitored and given constant guidance.

For instance

, there are former

convicts

who served an ample amount of time inside the

jail

and once they are free, their family members might not be around.

This

circumstance leads them to a crisis. The concerned

government

agency should create a counselling

program

that aims at the rehabilitation of

convicts

. Even though they have committed grave mistakes they should be given the chance to change. One of the primary roots of crime is poverty.

Thus

, a livelihood

program

should be given so that they will learn that there are other means of making money. Job opportunity should

also

be ensured once they go out of

jail

.

For example

, the number of reconvicted criminals in Switzerland is low due to their unique method of conviction. They have incorporated livelihood programs, exercise, social therapy while prisoners are still serving their sentence. In conclusion, there are only a few job opportunities that await former

convicts

that is

why they are left with no choice but to commit a crime again.

Furthermore

, there is inadequate support given to them by the

government

.

However

, if they are given the chance to change by incorporating the livelihood

program

and fruitful activities while they are still

convicts

it greatly affects their life.
