Supporting inmates after release is key to cutting re-offending

[Deeq A.]

The amnesty provided to 116 inmates in Mogadishu’s central prison this week is more than a public relations stunt as some critics claimed on social media. What prompted me to write this piece is actually the fact that there are those in Somalia who feel amnesties and rehabilitation of offenders is wrong altogether. This could not be further from the truth.
