KAJANG: The stigma attached to former prisoners often causes them to be sidelined even though they have paid their respective debts to society, says Kajang Prison director Mohd Roslen Ramli.

He said the community's general attitude and disposition towards released offenders made it difficult for some of them to change and avoid recidivism.
