摘要：This paper discusses about the prison visitation and the level of support received by parolees while serving the Parole Order. Respondents were among 240 parolees from 52 District Parole Offices throughout Malaysia. Data were collected using a questionnaire gauging the prison visit while family support was measured using the Measure of Perceived Social Support from Family and Friends. Results showed that visitation during incarceration do promise the kind of support needed by parolees from their families during release on parole. A statistically significant positive relation between family support and reintegration of parolees into the community was also found. The strong family support received by parolees ensured success in the process of reintegration into society and job security, which will eventually hinder them from becoming recidivists. Hence, efforts need to be taken to ensure and enhance family visits during imprisonment which will increase the level of family support needed to facilitate the reintegration process of parolees into the society.
