Abstract

The first article of "The Law on Execution of Sentence and Treatment for Inmate" is to promote the reformation of inmates and their wholesome reentry to society and its ideologic social reentry has been succeeded as always, whereas it tends to be strengthened as time passes. After considering all these ideologies, all kinds of treatments should be implemented in the direction of assisting inmates' social return except for the inevitably minimum deprivation of freedom to keep order and safety in the correctional institution. Therefore, because the social return ideology should be adopted on the whole process of execution of sentence, classification review on the beginning of term, including prison industry, correctional education even investigation and disciplinary punishment subsequent to the breach of regulation, all treatments also should be done in view of promoting their social returns. When it comes to think the word 'correction' in a broad sense, not only divergent treatments running in correctional institutions, but also a series of reentry process including community, family, employment after release are all involved together. Lately, from the period of preparatory time for returning to society in correctional institution, to assisting social returning settlement after release, western society has reinforced intensified preparatory social return support with revolving around the transition. In this thesis, the transitional management which assigning offenders to private social welfare agency in Germany, the transitional one through NOMS(National Offender Management System), which was created by combining parts of the National Probation Service and Her Majesty's Prison Service in England and the TPC Project by transitional management in US are introduced detailedly. On the basis of foreign precedent, we suggested that Korea Correctional Service, the department of Crime Protection and Korea Rehabilitation Agency should be working together for the project. But it is urgent that Korea should establish a consolidated 'Correction and Probation Agency' which implementing coherent and effective transitional management policy in the long run.
