These days, an increasing number of lawbreakers tend to repeat their crimes after they are released from jail. This essay will explore some reasons behind this trend and suggest feasible measures to address it.
One primary factor contributing to this phenomenon is societal rejection of ex-convicts. Many people are skeptical about those who have been incarcerated. For example, in Vietnam, job applicants must provide their judicial records. If a person has been in jail, it becomes highly unlikely for them to find employment. As a result, they often resort to crime again and remain trapped in a cycle of illegal activity. Additionally, for those who have spent a long time in prison, finding a job can be particularly challenging. They often seek easy money and are unwilling to work hard. For instance, stealing allows them to quickly obtain money without putting in much effort. Consequently, this leads to repeated offenses, making crime a habit.
One possible measure to address this issue is for the government to create job opportunities specifically for ex-convicts. Manual labor positions, in particular, require only physical strength and do not typically demand formal education or certificates. For example, jobs in coal mining do not require specialized qualifications. This would allow former inmates to rebuild their lives and reintegrate into society. Additionally, companies that seek manual labor should be encouraged to hire ex-convicts, as these jobs, such as working in a warehouse, are well-suited for them.
In conclusion, some individuals choose to steal because they desire easy money, but this will never be a replacement for real hard work. Having a stable job, such as working in a warehouse, provides a better and more honest way for them to earn a living.
