Rehabilitation is a Right

On this episode of Phir Se, we find out what it takes to re-enter society after prison. Rehabilitation requires a stable shelter, a way to earn, and relationships that support someone through their crises. From the fragile emergency phase right after release, to the quiet, radical initiative that transformed the lives of those who leave prison: Prayas's NGO placement programme. With over thirty years of work in the criminal justice system, this model has done what the private sector couldn’t - to take people in without judgment, give them confidence, cultivate their skills, and provide room to rebuild a life, not just survive one.
