Abstract: This study aims to explore the lived experiences of Ex-detainees’ extremities after incarceration.
This narrative research study involves an in-depth interview with one participant residing in
Tagum City, Davao del Norte. The researchers examine the participant’s experiences concerning
their return as returning civilians. Interviews were recorded, transcribed, and analyzed by the
researchers. The study explores their feelings, experiences, challenges/problems before, during,
and after incarceration, and most importantly their realization. The researchers developed five
focal themes from the interview text or interview transcript namely: 1) Lack of education, 2)
Money issues, 3) Regret, 4) Old age and, 5) Recidivism. The findings from this study suggest that
money and partly lack of education are the drives that pushed people to the peak of desperation to
do something illegal. |
