That the ultimate aim of institutional administration is reformation and rehabilitation of the inmates is widely accepted today. What, however, has not yet been duly appreciated is the need of after-care services which will be essential if the institutional inputs must be able to provide commensurate results.
Abstract
Actually, towards achieving the purposes of resocialization and rehabilitation both institutional and after-care services are so much dependent on each other that without one's effectivity, the other's achievements are adversely affected. Whereas, we still need very many improvements to be brought about in institutional care in correctional efforts, after-care services must also be developed side by side. (Author abstract)
