The mission of the Taiwan After-Care Association is to counsel those rehabilitated who have been released from prison to return to normal lives, to integrate into society, and to prevent recidivism so as to maintain social security. Formerly named as the “Taiwan Province Judicial Care Association”, the Association was founded on November 11, 1946 under the supervision of the Taiwan High Court, the Department of Social Affairs of the Taiwan Provincial Government, and the Bureau of Social Affairs of the Taipei City Government. It is a public charity group organized as a foundation, and was renamed the “Taiwan After-Care Association” in July 1967, to be responsible for the care of ex-prisoners of Taiwan Province, Taipei City and Kaohsiung City. As the Government appreciate the importance of this work, the “Rehabilitation Protection Act” was promulgated and entered into force on April 8, 1976. The Association was then reorganized on November 11 in the same year and established a board of directors under the direction and supervision of the Ministry of Justice since 1980.
