Abstract: Reintegrating into society after being released from prison is a difficult process that requires assistance from a variety of sources. During the process of reintegrating into society, a released prisoner encounters various challenges and has an impact on the reintegration process. Social stigma and the persistent stigma attached to having a criminal record make these difficulties worse. The purpose of this study is to investigate the issues and challenges faced by released convicts as they reintegrate into society and to comprehend the effects of incarceration on that process. The impact of family relationships, community support, and economic status on the reintegration process is also examined in this study. This study used a purposive sampling technique to pick its primary sample, which was a quantitative, descriptive study. Through the use of a survey questionnaire, information was obtained from a number of primary sources. The results of this study indicate that family support plays a major role in reintegration and presents fewer challenges for released prisoners. However, less support from society, economic conditions, and released prisoners themselves present significant challenges and have a significant impact. Along with a brief comparison of their occupations before and after release, this study looks at the sociodemographic status of released inmates. Proper support of family and economic self-reliance spurs the reintegration process. Society can endeavor to create an atmosphere that supports rehabilitation and eliminates stigmatization which facilitates people’s successful reintegration into society after incarceration and lowers recidivism.
