“…Social isolation negatively predicted general well-being in correctional institutions (Cesaroni & Peterson-Badali, 2005). However, social isolation may also be a way to handle stress in prison (Prendi, 2014). Hence, there is an opportunity to explore friendship dynamics in correctional institutions, friendship preferences, and how friendship influences juvenile offenders' mental health.…”

Juvenile delinquency is at a worrisome rate in every part of the world. The juvenile offenders themselves are in a vulnerable period of development while also living in the difficult situation of detainment. However, challenges that juvenile offenders face in correctional institutions, how they construct their reality about detainment as well as their mental health needs have not been widely addressed. Research on juvenile offenders’ psychological experiences is not sufficiently documented and expressed. Hence, much less attention or programs were directed to address these obstacles. This review aims to present the psychological experience of juvenile offenders in correctional institutions. The systematic review examined qualitative studies over a 10-year period that were published between 2012 and 2022 from five databases, resulting in 16 articles mostly indexed in SCOPUS. The study utilized the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses (PRISMA) framework and the narrative synthesis approach. Moreover, the findings provide empirical evidence that juvenile offenders’ psychological experiences (i.e., negative and positive emotions) are evident throughout their detainment, and interaction with staff and peers is crucial in defining it. Therefore, some of the challenges of living in correctional institutions include the feeling of boredom, strict regulations, and lack of care. Hence, education on adaptive coping, expanded vocational opportunities, and programs providing warmth, safety, and positive environments are crucial to rehabilitating offenders.

“…Nonetheless, there is a lack of research on effective welfareimproving tactics and support networks.

The emphasis of juvenile justice has changed from punitive to a more restorative approach. The existing literatures was searched from the academic databases out of which 54 studies were identified and content analysis was performed to review these studies. The aim of this paper was to critically analyze studies that relate to the correctional strategies used in Juvenile Justice Systems for rehabilitation. It was found that there is a paucity of knowledge regarding how the mental factor is taken into consideration for rehabilitation of a juvenile delinquent. Key components like causes of juvenile delinquent, the theoretical framework, legal underpinnings, the important rehabilitation models and the psychological element of juvenile delinquency are reviewed. The limitations and future directions for research are discussed.
