How psychosocial reintegration activities influence the behavior of persons deprived of their liberty

Résumé

In the context of the Romanian penitentiary system, the process of psychosocial reintegration of prisoners represents a crucial area of ​​social and psychological intervention. Activities aimed at psychosocial reintegration are designed to facilitate the transition from life in a prison environment to reintegration into society, to reduce the risk of recidivism, and support the development of adapted and responsible behavior. Reintegration activities, which encompass educational, psychological, and social interventions, play a crucial role in modifying the behavior of prisoners and facilitating their subsequent reintegration into the community. Studies suggest that these interventions can lead to significant changes in dysfunctional behaviors, such as aggression, recidivism, and the inability to adapt to social norms. Over time, research has highlighted the fact that well-structured psychosocial interventions can lead to significant changes in the behavior of prisoners, providing them with the necessary tools for a more stable and socially integrated post-detention life.
