Abstract:
The Community Work Programme (CWP) has recruited ex-offenders as participants in some of their sites across the country. Because CWP provides income opportunities, engages participants in community upliftment, and builds new relationships among participants, it presents a key opportunity for reintegration of ex-offenders. The CWP‘s focus on crime and violence prevention initiatives also provides an opportunity for ex-offenders to make a unique contribution and facilitate their reintegration back into communities, but it also comes with serious challenges.
