Achievable Ways To Rehabilitate Criminals

By Elsa English


Consistent high rates of re offending have resulted to radical overhaul as nearly half of the total ex prisoner re-offend within the first twelve months. The figure reaches to fifty eight percent for those serving a term of less than a year. The new proposal drafted that is set to rehabilitate criminals entails the following and is expected to bring down the rate of re-offenses.

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.

Mentors are provided by the proposal and they will be tasked to meet with the wrongdoers once they are released. The ex-convicts are to be given required support in ensuring their daily aspects of life run smoothly. Some of the kind of help given to them include, restoring them by providing aid in job seeking and shelter, overcoming alcohol, drugs and intoxicants including monitoring of literacy problems.

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.

There is public awareness of the presence of wealth and expertise across the public, private and voluntary sectors. This potential needs to be unlocked in order to at last commence in tackling down of the threatening higher rates of re-offenses. Both the voluntary and private sectors are to attain invitation for bidding with individual contracts getting awarded based on best value in the tackle of re offending and innovation.

The proposal aims to ensure offender sent to jails or probation get adequately punished as a way of getting aid in converting from evil doing. This reflects to spending from coffers of taxpayers on tasks based on the process or countering the crime rate. The public domain is anticipated to sustain the responsibility of keeping the general public safe in every situation.

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.
