ABSTRACT

The purpose of this study is to identify the difficulties experienced by youth incarcerated in correctional facilities and to develop a reading program that can be utilized for education and counseling. The research contents and methods are as follows: First, a literature review was conducted to examine the characteristics of correctional facilities and juvenile delinquents, and research trends and cases of reading programs operated in domestic and foreign juvenile correctional facilities. Second, in-depth interviews were conducted with 20 youth in correctional facilities and an online survey was conducted with 59 staff members in charge to survey the needs for reading programs. Third, a reading program for youth in correctional facilities was developed based on previous research and the needs survey. The results of the research showed that reading programs for youth in correctional facilities were developed in three areas: 16 sessions of ‘bibliotherapy program’, 12 sessions of ‘career reading program’, and 12 sessions of ‘literacy enhancement program’.
