Abstract:
Bangladesh is an independent country from 1971 after the Liberation War. The percentage
of committing crime is increasing day by day. Now-a-days not only an adult male but also
female and minors involve themselves to commit crime. The rehabilitation system in
Bangladesh is not adequate. No one born as a criminal and also no one gets involved with
drug addiction by born. Crime is the result of social, and economical imbalance. It is
believed that if we can educated and trained the criminals, they can be made competent to
behave well in the society and contribute to the economy. Our existing legal framework has
inadequate provisions regarding proper reintegration of prisoners to the society.
Rehabilitation is the first aim of revisory system. This aim depends on the admission that
how a person can be treated and can return to a crime free life. The rehabilitation system
was the main feature of sanctification in the first half of the twentieth century. Though the
acceptances of rehabilitation programming decreased in 1970s and 1980s but it has
reclaimed favorability in recent years through the world.1 Rehabilitation provides a broad
array of programs including physical and mental health, social integration and educational
services and also special programs have been developed for sex offenders, women and
parolees. In addition, rehabilitation for drug addicted criminals is become a cover issue. As
a developing country Bangladesh facing this problem mostly. Now-a-days the
rehabilitation system has been connected with the court system.
