An ex-convicted person always has low acceptability to many people and is not easily acceptable by the society. We, therefore, have to build a less vulnerable circumstance for the ex-convicted (ex-offender) to return our society. During the year of 2004 in Taiwan, among 9904 ex-offenders have some difficulties in job-getting because lack of living skills. As to the help of ex-offenders, some assistance granted lead to psychological adjustment and problem-solving, which surely offers consultation and aftercare. These assistances also intend to help the ex-offender to the re-evaluation of life and finding a new start. In a general way, juridical protection is composed of crime prevention, criminal investigation, trial proceeding, execution, and aftercare, characterizing the whole process of a criminal case. Among these 5 stages, correction and aftercare have close relationships and sufficiently lead to the dead end of relapse. Thus, the aftercare truly plays an important part in jurisprudence/ judiciary. The Aftercare Association is an NPO (non-profit organization), providing an assistance to the ex-offenders in returning to society and getting jobs at least for 60 years. Its clients are the least acceptable people in the society. The given conditions often block the effects the association might introduce. And this situation has worsened while the whole economy is in a bad shape. The motive of this study comes from the author’s personal experience with the aftercare association and its ex-offenders clients. The research uses in-depth interview, both with ex-offenders and their consultants, so as to explore several issues: the ex-offender’s job-getting, their reception of job-training, and their start-up for business. According to the consequences drawn by the study, some policy implication and advice will be offered to the Chiayi Aftercare Association and the authorities for adequate policy making. Besides, the other subjects should be taken into consideration, such as the ex-offenders’ self-adjustment, the raising of social acceptability both from the public and the employers, etc.
