Purpose:The importance of quality training in any organization cannot be underrated in the procedure of reintegration of ex-offenders back into the larger society for the maintenance of social orderliness in Nigeria.

Fifteen recidivists were selected from four (4) correctional facilities in Ogun State, Nigeria Semi-structured questionnaire was designed and used as a guide to conduct in-depth interviews among the selected recidivists. However, after screening, coding and editing, thirteen (13) recidivists' interviews were found useful for the content systematic method of data analysis and interpretation.Findings:The study concluded that inner training shared among recidivists contributes largely to the rate at which ex-offenders return to prisons for several reasons.Implication:Therefore, the following recommendations were stated: the creation of a post-released services scheme, the Creation of quality aftercare monitoring, and the Development of an alternative to imprisonment between new inmates and ex-offenders in the prisons.
