An Assessment of the Community Immersion of Ex Convicts in Barangay Nagka-Isang Nayon Novaliches, Quezon City

Vol.4, No.1

Abstract

Based on the study conducted, it was discovered that individuals who are incarcerated and
then released back into society, commonly known as ex-offenders, face many obstacles
during the process. The study aims to evaluate the level of community integration of ex-
convicts in Brgy. Nagka-Isang Nayon, Novaliches Quezon City, mainly in terms of their
financial and work-related situations. Ex-convicts face many challenges, such as social
exclusion, maltreatment, aggression, stress, and anxiety, which affect their physical,
psychological, and social well-being.
The results of this research have the potential to form a solid foundation for future studies on
ex-offenders difficulties in reintegrating themselves into society. Additionally, it expedites the
identification of issues and potential fixes for better prison management. Every prisoner who is
prepared and willing to change is also given the same treatment. Even yet, there are still
restrictions depending on the seriousness of the crime and transgression committed by the
prisoner.
The recommended steps suggested in this study can also assist policymakers in the creation
of specific programs and policies that aid ex-offenders in their efforts to re-enter the
community. Through this, the government can help offenders find their place in society and
contribute to its growth without causing trouble to anyone.
