The purpose of this paper is to discuss the topic regarding reintegration to the labor market for people who have a prison sentence as a part of their past. An exposition regarding encouraging contribution for the reintegration alongside obstructive circumstances will be made. In a parallel process, an investigation on potential ways to decrease the obstructive behavior of these repressive issues will also be performed. To examine the purpose the method sociology of law will be applied. The paper mainly draws upon applicable legislation on the matter together with institutional investments and the government's official investigations. Conclusions that were drawn from investigating this purpose is that there exists several contributions in relation to the encouraging work for people who are sentenced to prison and their reintegration to the labor market. Also the potential obstructive behavior of employers controlling the employees register of crimes in conjunction with the recruitment process could have on the reintegration. Although this control of criminal record could just be seen as obstructive when it comes to the informal control, and not the controls which are legislated. There exists no legislation regarding the informal control of criminal records made by employers which could be considered a problem when it comes to the reintegration. Considering there exists limitations on the controls that are legislated, restrictions on the informal controls should be investigated as well.
