POST-DETENTION SOCIO-PROFESSIONAL REINTEGRATION OF THE DETAINEE BETWEEN THE THEORY AND REALITY OF THE XXI CENTURY

Abstract

In a constantly changing society, it is mandatory for state institutions and society to be actively involved in the (re) integration of persons released from prison. The non-adaptation of policies and programs for the integration of these people with the real needs they had coming out of the prison gate and also in the first month of freedom, can determine them to relapse and implicitly to increase the crime rate at the societal level. It is necessary that the programs are inspired by institutions and specialists from other states, such as those of the American, Spanish, German state, etc. to be adapted to the real needs of the liberated people, to the culture and values of the Romanian people. Each person is unique, that’s why the person released from prison has certain needs to integrate into society again, and these needs are different from one person to another, depending on gender, religion, education, life experience, marital status, age, moral support provided by the family, support given by society the time they leave the penitentiary after serving the sentence, etc.
