Abstract

The self-adjustment experienced by ex-prisoners in dealing with the negative stigma they receive from society after serving their sentences. To understand the difficulties ex-prisoners face during social reintegration, this study collected data from various sources through descriptive qualitative methods and literature review. The study shows that the social stigma attached to ex-prisoners often leads to ostracism, discrimination, and difficulty building good social relationships. However, many ex-offenders strive to change society by participating in social activities and behaving positively. Family, community, and effective rehabilitation programs are crucial to help them adjust and reduce stigma. This study found that collaboration between the community, government, and relevant institutions is needed to create an environment that supports the social reintegration of ex- prisoners so that they can contribute positively in society. The results of this study are expected to provide insights for communities and policy makers on how they can assist the reintegration of ex-offenders.
