An aftercare plan is vital for violent offenders, non-violent offenders, or trauma victims. There are many offenders that are released from the penal system daily, and an aftercare plan is important to help prevent recidivism. A majority of offenders have little education, job experience, and many have a dependency on drugs and/or alcohol. Society often considers offenders to be hopeless due to the rate of recidivism in the U.S. and this is why it is important to create an aftercare plan that works to prevent recidivism (Second Chance Act Statewide Adult Recidivism Reduction Strategic Plan Implementation Program FY 2016 Competitive Grant Announcement, 2016).
