Participants from the International Training Course Visit a Juvenile Training School
UNAFEI has been conducting the 122nd International Training Course on “The Effective Administration of Criminal Justice to Tackle Trafficking in Human Beings and Smuggling of Migrants.” On 24 September 2002, as a course programme, the participants visited Ariake Kogenryo, a Juvenile Training School located in Nagano Prefecture. After a briefing on the juvenile justice system in Japan and correctional programmes given in the institution, the participants went on a tour around the institution. The participants were impressed with the various educational programmes oriented to rehabilitate juveniles committed thereto.
Ariake Kogenryo is an open-type juvenile training school operated by the Ministry of Justice and receives juveniles aged 14 to 19, who have a high possibility of re-socializing within a short period and are suitable for open-type treatment. The institution is developing a variety of correctional programmes including academic education or extramural vocational training with the support of the community.
