Summary
This study tests a social work program called Project ReBond for people serving their first or second prison sentence in Hong Kong. The program includes workshops and counseling before release, plus support like job help and mentoring after release. Researchers will track 300 participants for 13 months to see if the program reduces reoffending compared to standard services.

- What this could lead to
- If successful, this program could provide an effective way to reduce reoffending and support former prisoners in rebuilding their lives.
