“…With regard to the 14 studies that examined consequences of stigma, nine found that stigma experiences were associated with poor well-being outcomes, including low self-esteem (Harris, 1976), low quality of life (McWilliams & Hunter, 2021), poor perceived health status (Redmond et al, 2020), mental health symptoms (K. E. Moore & Tangney, 2017), anticipated rejection (Dâmboeanu & Ramakers, 2019; K. E. Moore, Stuewig, et al, 2016), and anticipated secrecy/withdrawal coping (Ray & Dollar, 2014; Winnick & Bodkin, 2008, 2009).…”

The purpose of this study was to systematically review the types of stigmatized attributes that have been assessed and the causes and consequences of stigma for individuals involved in the criminal legal system (CLS). PubMed, GoogleScholar, and APA PsycInfo databases were searched to identify studies for inclusion through March 2021. Eligible studies were peer reviewed, quantitative, and assessed stigma from the perspective of the person involved in the CLS. Fifty-nine studies were included (total n = 21,738), assessing stigma associated with criminal involvement, HIV, substance use, race/ethnicity, help-seeking, and others. Experiencing criminal involvement stigma was linked to poor well-being, but less so for racial/ ethnic minorities. Experiencing racial/ethnic stigma was associated with recidivism risk, and substance use stigma was associated with substance use risk. Several stigmas intersected to impact treatment engagement and well-being. In conclusion, individuals involved in the CLS experience many stigmatized statuses that impact their well-being, treatment adherence, community integration, and criminal behavior. Stigma must be addressed among individuals involved in the CLS and the systems they interact with to reduce health inequity and recidivism risk. Clinical Impact StatementPeople involved in the criminal legal system are among the most highly stigmatized people globally, even years after they have completed their legal sanctions. People with legal system involvement often have a variety of stigmatized statuses that may intersect to create barriers to reentry after incarceration. Results from this study show that stigma tied to criminal involvement, race/ethnicity, substance use, and other statuses negatively impacted outcomes such as well-being, treatment engagement, and recidivism risk. Stigma must be addressed among individuals in the criminal legal system to increase the chances of successful reentry and reduce the burden of recidivism on society.

“…Since most public employees do not work together to undertake and manage departmental initiatives, a lack of coordination has led to irregular expenditure and overspending in many departments. For the transformation process to be successful, the activity of the key reform agencies and role-players must be well-coordinated (Danboeanu & Ramakers, 2018). This necessitates the creation of efficient coordination mechanisms as well as a collaborative work environment within the public sector.…”

Training opportunities are essential for introducing teachers to effective instructional strategies and pedagogical approaches. Teachers need access to professional development programs that promote knowledge and skills acquisition to improve learner performance. Due to a lack of training, school administrators frequently misinterpreted key elements of the teaching and learning process and failed to understand the objectives and requirements of the new curriculum. To increase the ability and competency of educators in the province, it is the goal of this article to identify obstacles preventing the Eastern Cape Department of Education from implementing training programs effectively. This study utilises a descriptive and explanatory qualitative case study. Data was collected using interviews with five (5) (n-5) key informant participants. The findings indicate that Human Resource Development lacked competitive and practical skills development programs, resources (finance), capacity, low participation from educators, effective human resource strategy and training opportunities for educators, leading to poor learner results throughout the province. ECDoE is recommended to implement well-designed professional development programs which align with the curriculum and educational objectives of the National Department of Basic Education. By focusing on specific areas of need, such as literacy, numeracy, or inclusive education, these programs can address critical challenges faced by teachers and students in the province. The study suggests that ECDoE can implement competitive training programs, develop a comprehensive human resource development strategy, hires well-skilled trainees and training opportunities should be given to all educators in the province.

“…Despite the benefits/impacts of education on incarcerated individuals and efforts of some international organizations to promote correctional education, there still exists a high rate of recidivism globally [18][19][20][21] which is attributed to low or no participation in education programmes while in incarceration [22,23]. Extant research has shown that not all correctional education results in effective rehabilitation [16,24].…”

Much is not known about education programmes for Nigerian incarcerated individuals. Consequently, different correctional institutions worldwide have different forms of correctional education offered to incarcerated individuals. Nigerian incarcerated individuals perceive that there are implementations of education programmes offered to them. However, little or nothing is known about how incarcerated individuals perceive these education programmes. To this end, this study ascertains the incarcerated individuals’ perception of education programmes as well as the expectations of social work profession in ensuring that incarcerated individuals in correctional institutions are provided with quality education. In-depth interviews involving 20 convicted incarcerated individuals from Owerri correctional centre were conducted. Thematic analysis was used in analyzing data generated for the study. Findings show that education programmes are available and essential, but the quality of the programme does not go down well with the incarcerated individuals. It also revealed that incarcerated individuals were not allowed to decide on the type of education programme to be involved in. To this end, their participation in the programme is jeopardized. The findings further revealed that little or nothing is known about social workers in prison education. Therefore, the inclusion of correctional social workers as an integral part of education programmes that aim to reform, rehabilitate and reintegrate incarcerated individuals becomes necessary.
