The modern reality is that absolutely everyone can go to prison, regardless of whether he is guilty or not. However, getting back to normal life after imprisonment is not easy at all.
Most of the society believes that it is almost impossible for a former prisoner to return to his former life. Employers, friends, and even relatives cowardly turn away from such a person. However, psychologists are sure that everyone can lead a normal, fulfilling life after imprisonment. Of course, if he wants to.
Behavior during the first time after leaving prison
In the first time after release, a person by inertia lives according to the prison regime, remaining callous and insensitive. It was at this time, according to psychologists, that you need to find at least some kind of job, even a low-paid one. This measure will allow you to survive and catch your breath a little and look around after imprisonment.
A little later, you need to find people who can be helped, who are much worse than you. These can be elderly people, disabled people, poor people or people who are not adapted to life. At first, the help will be just mechanical, insensitive, but over time, the ability to empathize and participate will awaken. Psychologists are sure that the insensitivity earned in prison can be got rid of, it is extremely important to do this as soon as possible.
You will also have to get rid of emotional inhibition. Experts recommend giving vent to all your emotions, of course, if they do not harm others. If you want to cry - cry, if you want to scream - scream. Throw out what has accumulated.
Social adaptation after leaving prison
Many employers are reluctant to hire people with a criminal record. But ex-inmates shouldn't hang their noses. You may have to start a new life with small earnings, with a non-prestigious job. The main thing is to believe that everything will change in the future if you wish. In addition, communication with new people gives new connections, and therefore new opportunities that you can use for your own good.
Psychologists believe that in the first time after leaving prison, a new love has a beneficial effect on the former prisoner. A new fresh feeling inspires, sets you in a positive mood, supports you in moments of despair and does not allow you to step on a criminal path. Therefore, welcome love with open arms, because it will help you start a new life.
Participate as much as possible in the life of society, this will help you feel needed and useful, experts say. You can go to the city cleanup, help plant trees, sign up for volunteers - there are a lot of opportunities! The main thing is not to give up, not slide into the abyss of crime and be responsible for your actions.
