That so many are outside the realm of mainstream society, it can be argued that to expect prisoners to “reintegrate” back into society poses somewhat of a conundrum –– as most were never fully integrated into society to begin with. Using an interpretive phenomenological approach this thesis investigates the experience of reintegration in a small city (population = 119,230) from in-depth interviews with 54 former prisoners, aged 19-63 years old, who at the time of the research were living in Cork, Ireland. 693 REINSERÇÃO SOCIAL 7322 REINTEGRAÇÃO 5183 POPULAÇÃO PRISIONAL 102425 EX-RECLUSO 102525 MARGINALIZAÇÃO 103654 CONDIÇÕES ECONÓMICAS 423442 BRAND Sylvia PT RPC EST1321 0 EST_1321_000000000000000 2024-12-05 9810 480676 DGRSP DGRSP DGRSP9810 EST1321 2024-12-05 0 MO Oferta
