When returning to normal life, the biggest challenge for an amnesty recipient is finding a job. Not all people are willing to offer employment to them. Sometimes, in order for former inmates to start again and settle down, their own efforts are not enough.
In addition to efforts from prisoners and their families, support from society can contribute a lot. Support can come from local authorities, the business community, social organizations, or the neighborhood. This will help former inmates become contributing members to their community. It can also reduce the crime rate in society.
According to the Ministry of Public Security, only 0.73 percent of over 15,000 inmates from 2013 until now have repeated their crimes. This figure shows that reintegration activities can be successful if they engage efforts from both former inmates and social institutions.
