Abstract

The study aimed to explore the lived experiences of incarcerated elders. Qualitative research design, specifically hermeneutic phenomenology was utilized in obtaining its objectives. The study found that elderly persons deprived of liberty were unsatisfied and had a low quality of life, which included unmet psychological and physiological needs. It also indicated that poor prison management of the facility is the cause of unsatisfied life. Lastly, despite the deprivation of freedom, incarcerated elders were still able to acquire positive insights into their experiences inside the pre-detention facility that may help them as they are reintroduced to society.
