Abstract

The purpose of this study is to present a device of revision about The Act of Penal Execution and Correctional Treatment. The nation must respect and safeguard the rights of her people. and prisoner is not an exception. But until these day, Inmates are consider as "Out law", so they are treated cancer of the public and subject of punishment. To day, the doctrine of correction has changed. The aim of imprisonment is not merely incarceration but improvement, education and re-socialization for offender. During the time that prisoner must spend, nation should protect and educate offender, and help him return to the public. Therefore, It is necessary that the condition in prison should maintain likely that in general society and rights of inmate should be guaranteed nearly that of general. although there is limitations which is created by imprisonment-nature. To achieve the above aim, in large number of countries have been manufacturing a system and establishing a law. In korea, The Act of The Penal Execution and Correctional Treatment has been put into force from 2007. There are many articles to protect prisoners rights and to improve correctional treatment in The Act. But, the prescription of The Act is abstract, discretion and idealistic. So, in spite of it's essence of representation, it is difficult to look expect the role of this Act. Now is the time to remodel the law, so I suggest that We shuld devise a system that arise practical effect, like as making a religious correction institution, building up institution for the elderly or woman and detail-revision of The Act, etc.
