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.

Underway plans set to transform rehabilitation looks into new and restructured public sector which is to get tasked in making sure the public is protected from offenders that are dangerous and high risk. Both private and voluntary groups will be required to work together to eliminate the revolving criminal justice system through engaging low caliber offenders. First time offenders and the ones serving for period shorter than a year are to get subjected to mandatory supervision and rehab upon getting released from prisons.

The proposal sets for major use of mentors who are to meet the lawbreakers at prisons gates. They are to be given support in their day to day aspects of their life. Restoring them by giving help in seeking jobs and accommodation, tackling drugs, alcohol and other addictions and checking on their literacy and educational problems is also overseen.

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.

We are well aware of the existence of expertise and wealth across the private, public and voluntary sectors. We are supposed to unlock this potential so that we can in the long run commence to tackle down the stubbornly high rates of re-offending. The private and voluntary sectors will get invitation to bid with each contract being awarded based on innovation and best value in tackling re-offending.

The proposal sets to see that persons who get sentenced into jails or probation are punished adequately while getting assistance to convert from doing wrongs for good. It will reflect to spending the taxpayers money on any tasks in the process of slashing down crime rates. The public segment is expected to maintain the chief responsibility of protecting the general public in all situations.

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 elements above from the proposal have been scrutinized and found to be effective in the fight against crime. They have been well drafted to ensure that the prison leavers integrate well into the society and get a good livelihood in an honest way.
