This research delves into the transformative journey of individuals engaged in the Therapeutic Community Modality Program (TCMP) within correctional facilities.The specific focus of this study was on individuals who had undergone the Therapeutic Community Modality Program and were subsequently released from Talisay City Jail in Talisay City. The study employs a qualitative approach, gathering rich narratives from informants who have navigated pre-released and post-released experiences. The investigation unfolds in two distinct phases, exploring the irrevocable passage of the "point of no return" within the correctional setting and the subsequent post-release experiences encompassing personal evolution, human dignity, transformative wisdom, and the liberation of happiness in freedom. The research draws theoretical support from Albert Bandura's Reciprocal Determinism Theory, emphasizing the dynamic interplay between individuals, their environment, and their behavior. The findings underscore the holistic impact of TCMP on the lives of participants, portraying it as a catalyst for change that extends beyond conventional rehabilitation approaches. Implications for future practices include the need for holistic program design, the promotion of positive environmental influences, and an emphasis on social modeling and peer support within correctional settings. The study suggests future research directions, such as longitudinal analyses of post-released experiences, comparative studies across rehabilitation models, exploration of individual differences in response to rehabilitation, in-depth examinations of spiritual interventions, and the integration of technology in rehabilitation programs. The abstract encapsulates the research's multidimensional exploration, providing a comprehensive overview of the transformative processes within the TCMP framework.
