The paper examines what changes and effects Krami contributes to and whether this results in improving the living conditions of former criminal persons participating in Krami. Krami is a collaboration between the Prison and Probation Service, the Swedish Public Employment Service and the municipality and aims to establish previously convicted persons in the labor market. The work process in this study consists of a qualitative approach with a hermeneutic method. The empire has been collected through eight semi-structured in-depth interviews conducted with former participants from Krami Halland and Krami Blekinge. The theoretical frame of reference in this study has consisted of Michel Foucault's power Theory, Axel Honneth's Theory of recognition and Johan Asplund's Theory of social responsiveness. The results of the eight interviews show that the living conditions have improved markedly for the participants in Krami by being included in society, with the help of education and work. This has resulted in them becoming self-sufficient and having a completely different perspective on life than they previously had. The respondents have undergone a self-change process from being a criminal to a former criminal and finally, as some describe an ordinary "Svensson".
