The challenge of preventing recidivism

The article addresses the challenges of preventing criminal recidivism, analyzing the evolution of the punitive justice system towards a rehabilitation approach. It highlights that, although incarceration may include educational and training programs, it also presents negative consequences such as family separation and contact with criminal environments. It emphasizes that the success of reintegration depends on interconnected factors such as stable housing, employment, and social support, with the stigmatization of former inmates constituting a significant obstacle. It concludes that reintegration must be an ongoing process that begins during detention and continues after release, aiming not only to prevent recidivism but also to promote full integration into the community.
