Support reintegration of ex-prisoners into workforce to prevent recidivism, says Ramanan


SUNGAI BULOH: Every organisation in the country is urged to offer former prisoners a second chance to reintegrate into the workforce with the goal of preventing recidivism, says Datuk R. Ramanan.

The Deputy Entrepreneur Development and Cooperatives Minister, who is also the MP for Sungai Buloh, said the reincarceration of some former inmates is often attributed to society's reluctance to extend them a second chance, a situation that he deemed unacceptable.
