1 Urgent aid, etc. and urgent aftercare of discharged offenders When reformation/rehabilitation of a probationer/parolee could possibly be hindered by illness, injury, a lack of a proper abode or employment, etc., a probation office can provide advice and guidance to ensure that they receive the necessary support from welfare institutions, etc. If that support cannot be received promptly enough or the support provided by such institutions is deemed insufficient, the probationers/parolees are provided with urgent aid (urgent aid, etc.) such as providing them with food, clothing, and travel expenses, or entrusting them to a halfway house.Urgent aftercare of discharged offenders is a measure that is similar to urgent aid, etc. which is provided, upon request, to anyone released on completion of their imprisonment term, granted suspension of execution of the sentence for imprisonment with or without work without probation, granted suspension of prosecution, sentenced to fine or petty fine, released or provisionally released from a workhouse, or released or released on parole from a juvenile training school having completed the term of parole supervision. Urgent aftercare is provided for a period of no longer than six months after the date of discharge from the physical constraint imposed by criminal proceedings or protective measures. This measure can also be taken for an additional period of no longer than six months if deemed particularly necessary for the rehabilitation of the offender. Table 2-5-3-1 shows the status of implementation of urgent aid, etc. and urgent aftercare of discharged offenders by type of subject in 2008.
