Problems of resocialization of people released from prison

Statistics of the Federal Penitentiary Service of the Russian Federation show that although the total number of perpetrators who have been sentenced to imprisonment for the first time has decreased, there is an increase in the number of twice, third, or more convicted criminals. Considering the fact that more than 15% of the adult Russians have been previously imprisoned, it can be concluded that the social rehabilitation of convicts who are about to be released and have been released is a common issue in the field of Russia’s public and state security. At the same time, finding a solution to the problems of re-socialization of this category of people will be a priority for the state social policy. The study discusses the possible ways to overcome the main difficulties related to the re-socialization of previously convicted criminals released from prison.
