Segal and colleagues. The following are the factors that determine the success of juvenile treatment programs (2019).
• Programs should take a comprehensive approach to the treatment and placement of young offenders in correctional institutions.
• Treatment of adolescent offenders should focus on the family rather than on the client as an individual.
• The needs of the adolescent client should take priority over those of the institution, particularly those in charge of placement.
• Priority should be given to culturally and racially appropriate programs during financing.
• Administrators can meet the specific needs of a customer if they think imaginatively.
• Each state should identify its top concerns and hold healthcare providers accountable.
• Community-based programs are more effective than incarceration.
• Participate in assisting the client; social workers are obliged to evaluate the inmate’s behavior and establish relationships with clients deemed unfriendly; (Segal et al., 2019). They also guarantee equal treatment for offenders coming from diverse backgrounds. As a bridge between prisoner and the public, social workers are essential. Clients are assisted in the transition between the outside and incarceration.
• Evaluate the client’s requirements – correctional institutions hold convicts with varying needs; for example, some struggle with impairments and mental diseases, others are juveniles, and still others are unsure of their future after release. This social worker makes sure that the standards are met and provides support to convicts.
• Create a plan of action by identifying the client’s strengths and capitalizing on them to help them develop and achieve their fundamental requirements (Segal et al., 2019). A correctional facility may offer a variety of activities to make the most of convicts’ talents, including sports and a library.
