The place of rehabilitation programmes in the reformation and transformation of prison inmates has continued to be on the front burner of professionals such as educators, counsellors, social workers, psychologists and medical doctors. Analysis has taken something of a top-down approach, and consideration has been placed on how the organizational context of individual prisoners interact with those rehabilitation programmes has been neglected. Drawing on interview data, this study aims to add to our understanding how rehabilitation programme affects inmates’ skills and attitudes in Sri Lankan prisons.,This study used an inductive qualitative case study approach as it requires a deep understanding of the effect of rehabilitation programme on inmates’ skills and attitudes and how inmates view rehabilitation programmes.,The study identified seven views of inmates regarding rehabilitation programmes conducted and understood that rehabilitation programme facilitates inmates to acquire strong self-assurance of future career options and deal with potentially destructive feeling such as anger, frustration and loneliness. However, inmates who showed a strong propensity to suffer injustice and internalized blame have found no substantial impact on their skills and attitude through the programme.,It is arguable that operation of meaningful prison-based rehabilitation programme is influenced by comprehensive picture of the profile of the prison population, shortages in resources, the attitudes of prison staffs, inability to meet real world settings and network building with a wide range of private, public or voluntary providers.,This study represents the first prison-based study to understand the inmates view on the rehabilitation programmes in Sri Lanka.

在囚犯的改革和改造中，康复计划的地位一直是教育工作者，辅导员，社会工作者，心理学家和医生等专业人员的头等大事。分析采取了自上而下的方法，并考虑了如何忽略个别囚犯与这些康复计划相互作用的组织环境。本研究利用访谈数据，旨在加深我们对康复计划如何影响斯里兰卡监狱中囚犯技能和态度的理解。本研究采用归纳定性案例研究方法，因为它需要对康复计划对囚犯的技能和态度，以及囚犯如何看待康复计划。，该研究确定了囚犯对所实施的康复计划的七种看法，并了解到康复计划可帮助囚犯获得对未来职业选择的强烈自我保证，并应对愤怒，沮丧和孤独等潜在的破坏性感觉。然而，表现出强烈的遭受不公正待遇和内在责备的囚犯并未通过该计划对其技能和态度产生实质性的影响。有意义的基于监狱的康复计划的运作可能会受到以下方面的全面影响：监狱人口，资源短缺，监狱工作人员的态度，无法适应现实世界的环境以及无法与众多私人，公共或自愿提供者建立网络，
