Whether a person released from prison can successfully reform and reform is a complex issue involving multiple factors such as law, society, and psychology. Although the phenomenon of recidivism does exist, it may be too absolute to simply attribute it to "difficult to reform". The following analysis is carried out from five dimensions： ###1. The reality behind the data There are obvious regional differences in the global recidivism rate: the data of Japan (about 20%), Norway (about 25%) and other countries are significantly lower than that of the United States (about 44%) and India (about 60%). This difference reveals the deep influence of institutional design. Harden Prison in Norway adopts the concept of "restorative justice". Through simulation of social life scenes and vocational skills training, the employment rate of prisoners after release from prison has reached 87%. ### 2. The shackles of structural dilemmas 1. **Employment discrimination**: According to data from the U.S. Bureau of Justice Statistics, the unemployment rate of those released from prison is 5 times that of the general population. Even if you find a job, the average hourly salary is 40% lower than that of ordinary workers. 2. **Institutional exclusion**: There are more than 27,000 laws in the United States that restrict the civil rights of former students, covering various aspects such as professional licenses and social benefits. 3. **Social isolation**: A study by the University of Manchester in the United Kingdom shows that 65% of people released from prison experience a breakdown in their social circle, leading to the collapse of their support network. ###3. The difficult process of psychological reconstruction The neuroscience team at the University of California found that long-term imprisonment can cause atrophy of the prefrontal cortex, which directly affects decision-making ability and impulse control. Through the Cognitive behavioral Therapy program, the Singapore Rehabilitation Authority has reduced the recidivism rate of violent criminals from 39% to 18%. This proves that neuroplasticity still provides the possibility for psychological reconstruction. ###4. Dawn: The elements of Successful Transformation 1. **Vocational skills reshaping**: The German "Second Chance" project cooperates with Siemens and other companies to provide precision manufacturing training. The employment retention rate of students within 3 years after they are released from prison has reached 91%. 2. **Family bond repair**: The Canadian "Family Reshaping Program" increased the family integrity rate of participants to 78% through parent-child interaction therapy, which was 40% higher than that of the control group. 3. **Social support network**: The Japanese Rehabilitation and Protection Organization mobilized 600,000 volunteers to form a nationwide support network, successfully helping 82% of the recipients achieve a stable life. ###5. Paradigm shift: from punishment to repair The "Gacaka Community court" model implemented by Rwanda after 1994 achieved a 97% community re-integration rate of participants in the genocide through face-to-face reconciliation between the perpetrator and the victim. This restorative justice model is being used by more than 20 countries such as South Africa and New Zealand. **Conclusion**: The road to the transformation of criminal release personnel is like digging a ladder on a thorny cliff. It requires not only the determination of the individual to continue to rise, but also the guardrail of systematic social support. Norway's concept of designing prisons as university campuses and Singapore's practice of using neuroscience to guide transformation are all proving that when society is willing to invest wisdom and resources, "second life" can become a high probability event. The core of the problem is not whether human nature is mutable, but what kind of conditions for change we have constructed.
