Abstract

Korea has concentrated on The Treatments for Elderly Inmates. This study examines the effective treatments for the current elderly inmates. I would like to recommend some effective ways. Especially this study will provide some additional considerations for the implementation of the policy for the rehabilitation of related for Elderly Inmates. The aging society has brought an issue of the elderly inmates. Those population in correctional facilities has increased conspicuously for the last couple of decades and the trend will be sustained for the next decades. The number of elderly inmates who are in prison or jail, or under probation or parole supervision, has increased dramatically in recent years. The elderly inmates have several characteristics of weak physical condition during incarceration and low re-socialization ability after incarceration. Since these characteristics of the old inmates are quite different from the other inmates, especially young inmates, it is recommended that the treatment programs for elderly inmates should be based on rehabilitation, differentiated, diverse and individualized treatments. Most jails do not have resources to provide adequate services. Therefore, Corrections and Treatment for them should be developed in korea. This study tries to find the importance of the correctional policies for the elderly inmates which relatively has little concerns.
