Are Convicts Still Punished After Serving Time

Convicts continue to face punishment even after serving their prison sentences. They experience social stigmatization and discrimination that limits their opportunities for employment, family support and reintegration into society. Providing rehabilitation programs, education, employment assistance and improving mental health resources can help reduce recidivism and ease convicts' transition back into their communities after prison.

● Rehabilitation should be
implemented more in US prison
● Give basic human rights while
incarcerated
● Not all that are incarcerated are
there for extermen reasons
