Crime and punishment are very much part of all societies. But when it comes to prisoners leaving jails after their jail terms, the attitude of the society towards them is almost same. So they face a lots of problems.

Firstly, ex-convicts are looked at with suspicion and distrust. It is a fact that they had done some crimes, and they got punished for the same as well. Still the society fails to accept this fact. Secondly, prisoners out of prison face a lot of emotional and psychological stress like depression, isolation and depravation. They are not welcome everywhere. This is much more haunting than those moments they had had among the four walls of their cells in jails.

Thirdly, these unfortunate human beings will not be able to lead a healthy personal or professional life because ex-convicts are not given jobs, and most of the time they are excluded from community and social circles. These are the most common problems they face. 160 words.
