Since 2020, 358 local people have completed their prison sentences and returned to the locality.
Most of them are freelancers without a stable job, so they face many difficulties in their lives. They still have an inferiority complex and are easily drawn back to the wrong path if not receiving empathy and support from the community during their social reintegration.
