A lot of it depends on how long they have been locked up.
If you have been locked up six months, the only readjusting is trying to find a job although the prison has a program that assists offenders that are looking for employment; therefore, they have a job when they are released.
If you have been locked up for say 30 years, just think about how much things have changed. They didn't have iPods then, they had record players and 8 tracks. Not only are they trying to adjust to the advanced technology but look at how the attitudes of people have changes too.

I believe that being accepted is their hardest challenge But on the other hand overcoming the psychological effects of being under the control of someone else where you have no choices of your own can have a devastating effect also This tends to make you lose any confidence you might have had
These two things could make life on the outside very difficult for someone trying to regain their life

How about being judged after they have served their sentence. I judge them too, if they are truly reformed that is wonderful. But lets face it, most of them aren't. Thats why we are skeptical and expect them to mess up again. Most people with a criminal record put the blame on being caught instead of the blame where it belongs within themselves. They are the ones who made the choices, usually causing a lot of heart ache and misery for their family and victims, yet rarely do they take the responsibility for their actions.

As for the prison having programs that assist ex-offenders in obtaining employment after release...less than one percent of those seeking this help are actually helped...due to budget.
99% are left to go it on their own.

Being accepted as a reformed person.
As in someone who will never ever again steal, rape, lie, cheat, sell drugs, break and enter, assault,kill, or any other illegal action.
