GELANDANGAN BEKAS BANDUAN: FENOMENA DAN PRAKTIS KERJA SOSIAL

Abstract

Homeless ex-prisoner is a marginal group that experiences various life pressures. They are ex-prisoners who are deprived of various opportunities and end up homeless on the streets. The absence of a post-prison support system resulted in multiple primary need deficits among the ex-prisoners. This situation makes them live in dangerous conditions on the streets. This concept paper reviews previous studies about ex-prisoners’ homelessness in terms of the factors that cause them to end up homeless. This paper also suggests social work practices as an intervention in helping homeless ex-prisoners. The practice connects homeless ex-prisoners with appropriate social assistance and services. The paper contributes new information to understanding the homeless ex-prisoners. Thus, interventions to prevent homelessness among ex-prisoners can be effective, and transformation efforts to transit them into productive and law-abiding people can be realised.
