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.]]>
