Morphology

reconviction = conviction (semi-transparent) = re + convict + ion

Adding 're-' to the noun 'conviction' clearly gives the meaning of a renewed or restored conviction or belief.

Etymology

Reconviction is made of re- meaning 'again' and conviction, which also means a 'strong belief' and is related to convince meaning 'to be sure'. So a personal reconviction is getting that 'strong belief' again.
