Abstract

This article is based on a research conducted in the summer of 2013 at the Juvenile Prison of Craiova, held under the auspices of the University of Craiova. Among the topics of the study we have tried to identify the characteristics of life strategies of young offenders. Factors that determine the future vision are indicators of the likelihood of recurrence and the measures that can be taken to reduce risks from incorrect design of the future. The main objective of our study was to identify what factors may contribute to recidivism and what is the impact of the rehabilitation programs on prisoners. One of the conclusions of the research is that there are secondary factors that can diminish the influence during detention of the rehabilitation program on future attitudes of the prisoners.
