| Abstract | The increasing number of seriously ill offenders re-entering society as elderly parolees after incarceration has severe ramifications for post-incarceration service providers, especially those providing social work programmes, monitoring, and supervision services in community correctional centres (COMCOR). Elderly parolees experience several difficulties, including maintaining their livelihoods, as they are well past work age and often lack family members to assist them after their release from incarceration. Often, post-incarceration social work programmes do not prioritise the needs of elderly parolees during service delivery, further straining the transition process of elderly parolees released from custody. The study aims to explore the experiences of caregivers and correctional service providers during the reintegration process of elderly offenders released on medical parole after incarceration. The study will utilise qualitative methods to explore the perceptions and experiences of elderly parolees and correctional service providers in the Department of Correctional Services. The study was situated in Durban Community Corrections (COMCOR), a reintegration centre under the Durban Management Area in the KwaZulu-Natal Province. The sample comprised fifteen (n=15) caregivers and ten (n=10) correctional social workers responsible for rendering social work programmes. |
