Abstract

Numerous studies conducted in many countries indicate problems encountered by people released from Penitentiary Institutions – personal identification issuing, finding a job, stigmatization etc. The main goal of this study is to raise awareness regarding the life difficulties of former convicts in Serbia. This should be achieved by representing some of the main challenges after their time in the Institution. This paperwork reflects six main themes identified as the main difficulties that research’s participants encounter. Those are related to their attitudes towards the country and society, the labour market and employers, the social environment, and self-concept. In the discussion we proposed potential solutions regarding improvement of post penalty support for ex-convicts, with destigmatization, proper information and institutional support emphasized.
