A Proposal 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.

Oncoming plans drafted to turn rehabilitation appearances into public sectors with a renewed and restructured outlooks are to be tasked to look into protection of public from high risk, dangerous offenders. The voluntary and private groups are set to work together in the elimination of cycling criminal justice system by involving with low caliber offenders. Offenders who are first timers and those serving terms not exceeding a year will undergo mandatory observation and rehabilitation as soon as their prison term is over.

The proposal provides for main usage of mentors that are supposed to encounter the lawbreakers upon their release. They are to be provided with the necessary support in running of their day in day out aspects of their lives. Some of the overseen help include, restoration by offering aid in finding jobs and accommodation, coming over drugs, intoxicants and alcohol and also monitoring their educational and literacy problems.

Releasing of ex-convicts back into the general public with only a small amount of cash and still fail to provide other necessary aid does nothing to help counter the problem. This results to lack of change in the high numbers of jail leavers committing crimes repeatedly. Reading from the same old script and still hold hopes for positive changes therefore becomes insensible.

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 at seeing that everyone who got sentenced into prisons or probation gets punished accordingly in the process of receiving help to turn from wrong doings once and for all. It will also translate to spending money from taxpayers on whichever tasks when it comes down to cutting of crime. The public sector will be expected to retain the ultimate responsibility for protection of the public in all cases.

This new approach is designed to facilitate that private providers are fully paid on condition they are able to achieve in reducing the degrees of re-offenses in designated areas. The agreement is to be grounded on providing payments in accordance with achieved results. This proposal aims at driving forward innovation and effectiveness via systems of criminal justice. A set amount of money is to be provided to communal and voluntary groups to boost them 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.
