Assistance to Ex-Convictsâ€​ was launched by the Department of Social Justice, Government of Kerala. This scheme is implemented by
the Department of Social Justice to help those released from jail from poor economic conditions to find their livelihood. As part of this
scheme, one-time financial assistance is provided to those released from jail to find self-employment and start some small Industry/Trade
as part of social rehabilitation. The age-old idea was that the offender should be confined to prison and kept away from the community as
long as possible. But, in the course of time, it has been realized that the protection of society is better ensured if the offender is corrected
and reformed through individualized treatments. Therefore, the Government of Kerala has started this scheme and providing financial
assistance to them. Thus, by utilizing this amount of assistance Ex-Convicts shall be engaged in small-scale income-generating
