Significant numbers of offenders try to reoffend after being released from prison, which is a serious threat to the innocent people of society who often become their victims and end up in a worst-case scenario. Some of the reasons will be discussed ahead.
One of the main reasons for this is the lack of education. Due to a lack of skills and a sense of insecurity, people choose to offend for the very first time and commit a crime to earn fast money. In many cases, instead of making them learn skills to survive, the focus is often more on punishment. Another main reason they end up committing crime again is that people do not accept prisoners around them. For example, no one will hire a person who has been to prison.
Solutions to the problem which were discussed ahead are that proper rehabilitation should be given to a prisoner, from which he will get motivated to learn new skills for survival. As a result, the tendency to commit crime will reduce for the second time. Furthermore, the government should introduce some job opportunities for the prisoners, by which they will be able to maintain the borders between society and the criminals.
In conclusion, to avoid the repetition of crime by a person even after a sentence to prison, they should go through proper rehab where they can learn a few skills or find the motivation to do something productive. Also, the government should introduce specific jobs for prisoners, which will maintain the boundary between society and offenders to avoid recommitting the crime.
