Abstract EN

We conclude from studying the subject of aftercare for convicts that the importance of this care is emphasized in light of modern punitive concepts in order to preserve the rehabilitation efforts that were provided to the convict inside the penal institution during the period of deprivation of his freedom (custodial sentences), so that the path is not lost in the large society when it encounters the first features of freedom and in order to be an effective human being in the society enjoying all rights and duties, to return to the normal life gradually.

The idea of aftercare has received great attention in international documents, and international organizations that specialized with the penal policy and criminologists, and they agreed to hold annual meetings and conferences to learn more about the concept of aftercare.

The problems that obstacles helping of those people that released are still exist which impede the application of aftercare.

These problems and obstacles could be institutional problems or obstacles related to special legislation and regulations, for example, the permanent security services that monitor them when they are a subject of suspicion and pursuit, as well as the obstacles that deny people that released from prison of many civil rights, and prevent them from assuming many public sectors, and this strengthens the motivation among individuals not to use them in private sectors.

It is also possible that societal obstacles are related to society's view, rejection of the released person from prison, and their unwillingness to integrate with them, which represents the height of the feeling of alienation in the expatriate community after a long period of isolation from it.

Therefore, to get rid of these obstacles and difficulties, each country is keen to protect its society from crime and provide security and reassurance in it, and it takes several measures, some of preventive and curative, while some of them are developmental measures with the aim of reducing the crime rate, and for these reasons the idea of aftercare emerged as part of these efforts to combat crime with the development of the view of punishment and the return of the released person from prison to society as an effective member, especially in light of the fact that whatever the types of crimes that would be committed by a person, that person has a human characteristic, and therefore he or she must be preserved to a minimum standard of human dignity.
