Abstract
This study aimed to explore the significant factors causing the reoffending of Persons Deprived of Liberty (PDL) of Manila City Jail Male and Female Dormitories as a basis for identifying its root causes, factors, and underlying circumstances, as well as to determine whose government agencies’ responsibility was the continued rise of reoffending or crime recurrence in the city of Manila to formulate appropriate intervention programs to lessen, if not eradicate, reoffending. Specifically, examining the variables and difficulties faced by criminal offenders entailed looking at the detailed connections between personal traits, social context, and environmental elements that induced criminal behavior and recidivism. This emphasized the significance of focused interventions and rehabilitative ways of addressing the complexities of these issues. This study was conducted in the male and female dormitories. Those who responded to survey questions provided the information required for quantitative analysis and interpretation. Results of the study disclosed that the increased number of commitments of repeat offenders to both male and female dowries were indicative of the seriousness of the challenges encountered by repeat offenders upon release from jail, triggered by societal, economic, and psychological factors.
