An ex-convict is a person who has been released from prison after serving a sentence for a crime. This term applies to individuals who have completed their time in incarceration, whether for minor offenses or serious crimes. Ex-convicts often face challenges reintegrating into society, including finding employment and housing. The journey of an ex-convict can be complicated by societal stigma and legal restrictions, such as limitations on certain jobs or voting rights. Support programs and rehabilitation efforts aim to help these individuals transition successfully, reducing the likelihood of reoffending and promoting public safety.
