This study sought to explore correctional rehabilitation effectiveness in a South African setting. Using a phenomenological approach, we interviewed ten parole recidivists who have been convicted more than twice on their rehabilitation service experiences. Interpretive phenomenological analysis of the data indicated that the recidivists perceived attitudinal, behavioural, and programmes’ insufficiency as barriers to benefiting from correctional rehabilitation. For enhanced effectiveness, correctional services programs’ designs should consider personal recidivists’ experiences, as well as their ability and willingness to receive correctional services.

矫正康复计划的有效性：南非环境中累犯的现象学研究

这项研究试图探索在南非环境中的矫正康复的有效性。我们使用现象学的方法，采访了十名假释累犯，他们因康复服务经历被定罪两次以上。对数据的解释现象学分析表明，累犯认为态度，行为和计划的不足是阻碍矫正康复受益的障碍。为了提高有效性，教养服务计划的设计应考虑个人累犯的经验以及他们接受教养服务的能力和意愿。
