title = "Released from Prison in Denmark: Experiences vs. Ambitions",
abstract = "In 2010 a cross-sectorial reentry framework was launched as the {\textquoteleft}Schedule of the Good Release{\textquoteright}. The ambition was to implement the actions outlined in the Schedule to all prisons and municipalities in Denmark to strengthen the cross-sectorial collaboration concerning parole and to support the parolees. The primary purpose of the Schedule was to prevent crime and secure parolees{\textquoteright} rights to social security and support. This chapter focuses on parolees in Denmark; their experiences of transitioning from prison back into society and life after prison; and whether the Danish state{\textquoteright}s reentry ambitions can be mirrored in the parolees{\textquoteright} first-hand experiences. Our findings suggest that parolees experienced their reentry as chaotic; that their supervision lacked vision; and {\textquoteleft}informal{\textquoteright} punishment was severe and permeated their lives post-prison.
