Instructions
Step 1
A person who has left a place of detention experiences an ambivalent feeling. On the one hand, there is a feeling of lightness, freedom, and on the other, a huge fear of the unknown. Society does not want to accept ex-prisoners into its circles. These people are doomed to be misunderstood by others. They will face certain barriers and dead ends throughout their lives. It will be difficult to arrange your personal life, find a job, it will be impossible to erase your criminal past.
Step 2
The ex-prisoner's label will get in the way of starting a new life. The first difficulties most often break a person, he breaks down and goes to new crimes in order to come back. In this most difficult period, the support of close relatives and friends is very important. Often those who have been released do not have them at all, or only a few remain.
Step 3
It is necessary to be able to overcome the feeling of doom, worthlessness. You need to try to find a job, even the simplest one, in order to gain trust, become a full member of society, and prove to your loved ones that all is not lost. One should not rush things, it should take a long time to abstract from life behind bars, so that the environment begins to perceive the former prisoner without fear.
Step 4
Once released, you need to clearly formulate your goals, think about what to do next, how you want to live and follow the intended path. It is worth giving up and forever closing the door in front of your friends from the criminal past, this friendship will only prevent you from starting a new life in freedom.
Step 5
Motivation can motivate a person to take decisive action. You need to outline several goals for yourself: get an education, achieve success in a professional field, start a family, improve relations with relatives. Next, do everything possible to achieve them.
Step 6
Don't be afraid to ask for help. There are special rehabilitation centers whose activities are aimed at developing motivation to live on in people who have lost the meaning of life and faith in themselves. It should be remembered that there are organizations and people ready to help. Even an ordinary person sometimes finds it difficult to collect his thoughts, to find himself, let alone the former prisoners.
