The success of the criminal justice system in Malaysia in setting up an intermediary home program for exprisoners is an initiative to be proud of. It is in line with the efforts of various developed countries in providing halfway houses for ex-prisoners. The main idea is to ensure the transition of ex-prisoners runs smoothly from life in jail to joining the community. This halfway house is so important especially for ex-prisoners who have no homes to live in after their released. One of the reasons is due to family rejections. The research methodology of this concept paper is qualitative in nature with reference of previous studies in the field of criminal justice. Information from literature reviews of developed countries is used in designing suitable programs for the existing halfway houses in Malaysia. This paper would further address the functional limit found in the previous studies' discussions. The absence of job replacement program, drug abuse program and family reinforcement program are among the functional limits of halfway houses in Malaysia. Such programs are vital in integrating the ex-prisoner's re-entry in the community. The suggestions promote a dynamic input for the policymakers to better equipped the existing halfway houses with such programs. The end results of this study are hoped to benefit the ex-prisoners prior re-entering the community once again and the government in building more valuable intermediary programs in the near future.
