The Ministry of Justice established National Center for Offenders Rehabilitation for offenders and delinquents disadvantaged by lack of assistance from family or private offender rehabilitation facilities. These centers are temporary accommodations adjoining probation offices. In these centers, probation officers directly provide intensive supervision and/or extensive employment support for offenders and delinquents in order to prevent re-offending, help their rehabilitation, and promote the development of a safe and secure society and communities.
