Journal Title: International Journal of Social Science And Human Research - Year 2023, Vol 6, Issue 10
Abstract
Reintegration into society is one of the things that Persons Deprived of Liberty or those who committed crimes and are serving their sentences inside a correctional institution look forward to. The restoration of freedom and the thought of spending time with their families brought them so much joy and comfort amidst all their experiences and struggles. This study explored the life of seven ex-convicts in their reintegration into society, particularly Ozamiz City. It utilized the case study design using Yin's method of data analysis. This study yielded the following themes: having difficulty applying for a job, struggling to earn a living, feeling indifference among family members and relatives, enduring the negative treatment of other people, trying to start a new life, having a positive outlook in life despite hardship, and aiming to reconcile with their families. In addition, this study showed that most ex-convicts had experienced challenges that tested their patience and views in life, yet they encouraged themselves to look for the brighter side of life. Thus, the researcher recommends revisiting for enhancement the briefing and debriefing conducted before the reintegration of the ex-convicts with their families, and a government program may be created for ex-convicts to have employment opportunities.
