The effectiveness of Livelihood Program

among Person's Deprived of Liberty

INTRODUCTION
EVERY INDIVIDUAL INMATE SERVING THEIR TIME WITHIN A JAIL FACILITY IS NOT JUST POSSESSED OF

THEIR NEGATIVE HABITS/SIDES; SOME ARE SKILLED IN THEIR SPECIALIZED SECTOR WHEN THEY ARE

NOT GUILTY OF A CRIME, AND SOME ARE PROFESSIONALS. AS A RESULT, THE PRISON INSTITUTION HAS

TAKEN STEPS TO PROVIDE PDL’S WITH THE OPPORTUNITY TO EVALUATE/SHARE THEIR OCCUPATIONS

WHILE ALSO KEEPING THEIR MINDS ACTIVE AND REHABILITATING THEM ON A DAILY BASIS.
 Important for a prisoner is to have a will to change himself and then giving him support to improve. Many

of them do not know how to start a new life such therapeutic Community Programs are the way, and they

can enlighten their future life. (www.howtodothings.com). The Bureau of Jail Management and Penology

(BJMP) has adopted Therapeutic Community Modality Program” or TCMP as a new approach to inmate

management that requires new glossary of terms relative to felons and introduction of a new way of life in

confinement As set by the BJMP, the Therapeutic Community is a self-help social learning treatment model

used to client with problems of drug abuse and other behavioral problems such as alcoholism, stealing and

other anti-social tendencies as well as working with special group of individual like those in jails
As a treatment model, it includes four categories, namely behavior management, intellectual and spiritual

aspects, emotional and psychological aspects and vocational or survival aspects. Therapeutic Community

utilizes the “community” as a vehicle to foster behavioral and attitudinal change. In this model, the client

receives the information and impetus to change from being part of the community. The expectation that the

community places on its individual members reflects not only the needs of individual, but also the social and

support needs of the community. This community mode provides social expectations, which are parallel to the

social demands that the clients will confront upon discharge to their home community.
 ABOUT THE PROGRAM

 Livelihood Program is a community-based program which provides income-generating

activities. As whereas the Livelihood Program seeks to curb and ultimately reduce poverty

by giving jobs and training to people, The livelihood program presents income-generating

activities to PDL during their confinement where they are able to earn for their personal

upkeep and for financial support to their families. The capital for the livelihood project is

either from BJMP for BJMP-funded projects or from the common fund of a group of PDL

for non-BJMP funded projects.

 These programs can efficiently work if the persons deprived of liberty (PDLs) have been trained behaviorally to

accept such programs positively. The acceptance of the person to such training and behavioral reformation can

only take place if, despite the stressful jail environment, the PDL has a stable behavioral orientation and a

positively inclined personality.
