A Proposal To Rehabilitate Criminals

By Elsa English


The consistent higher levels of re-offending have led to a radical renovation as almost half the total number of ex-convicts re offends in less than a year on their release. The figure is higher at about fifty eight percent in those that serve for terms of less than one year. The drafted new proposal is established to rehabilitate criminals so as to see a drop in re-offenses rates. The following is what is entailed in it.

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.

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.

The new approach is set to ensure that private providers get full payments on conditions that they get able to cut down the rates of re-offenses in their areas. The contract is to be based on payments as per the results. The proposals are directed toward driving progressive innovation and efficiency via criminal justice systems. Some amount of cash is set to be given to both voluntary and communal groups as a way of boosting them to begin 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.
