Only 12.3 per cent of employers are willing to employ released prisoners, says survey. Only 22.1 per cent have hired a released prisoner at some point and about 20 per cent reported that they would not do so again.
Sex crimes and murder are the red line for most employers, according to the survey. The process of vocational rehabilitation and accompaniment by the Employment Service will begin within the prison walls, three months prior to the prisoner's release, and will continue until they are integrated into the workforce.
