WHAT HAPPENS WHEN AN OFFENDER IS RELEASED?

Inmates are released after serving time without learning social skills or being educated; therefore, they have a hard time finding a job or a place to live and often return to a life of crime rather than integrating into society.

How do you get released from jail?
