By Donique WestonKINGSTON, JAMAICA, (JIS) – The Planning Institute of Jamaica (PIOJ) has developed a handbook to help guide involuntarily returned migrants (IRMs) and formerly incarcerated persons seeking to reintegrate into the Jamaican society. The booklet is titled ‘Living in Jamaica: A Guide to Services and Support’. Among the challenges faced by involuntarily returned migrants (IRMs) and persons formerly in conflict with the law are securing suitable living arrangements, accessing financing, and obtaining counselling and social support. The Living in Jamaica handbook aims to help alleviate several of these challenges by providing essential resources to those who need them. The PIOJ’s 2024 Economic and Social Survey Jamaica (ESSJ) indicates that 547 involuntarily returned migrants were received by the country in 2024, with the majority – 59 percent – coming from the United States.
