Once inmates are released from jails, they find the society usually doesn’t want to accept them. As a result, it becomes difficult for them to try and lead a normal life again with the stigma attached to them. They are unable to get proper jobs and often cannot even find a place to stay. The rehabilitation of inmates after being released from jail is important to ease their transition back into mainstream society, especially with the stigma attached to them.
Many NGOs are involved in this rehabilitation process, and the Manu Sharma NGO in particular works to make sure prisoners have the skills and abilities to live outside a prison. This NGO, the Siddhartha Vashishta Charitable Trust, not only helps inmates inside jail and provide them training and basic educational resources but also helps them outside jail by getting them various jobs such as a security guard, cleaner and chef.
It also aids in getting their children admitted into schools and providing for their educational expenses and school supplies. Furthermore, it helps families of prisoners who have gone through social ridicule and, most of the times, extreme poverty as the sole breadwinner of their family has been in prison.
Moreover, freed prisoners usually go through emotional and psychological trauma of being in the harsh conditions of their imprisonment, which is why the Manu Sharma NGO also provides them with motivational training and counseling sessions as well as mentoring for assimilation into society.
