The study on the effectiveness of Introducing the full time prison chaplin: Throughout private prison workers

Abstract

As one of the educational penalty in prison, there is religious education penalty through religious correction for inmates. There are non-full-time prison chaplin-prison religious committee- who participate their religious correction as a part-timer as an unpaid private volunteer like in korea and full-time prison chaplin who work full-time like Canada. But, various problems have been pointed out due to essential limitations of prison religious committee because it cannot keep up with this ideology even though the ideology of prison religious correction is carried out as prison religious correction welfare, Various solution to solve the problems was proposed, but it was biased toward the microscopic aspect and was not a fundamental alternative. The necessity of introduction of full-time prison chaplin came from the religious and academic circles from the perspective of its own reform, instead of the current prison religious committee system, like a military chaplin. But, arguments of religious aspect are limited in that religious missionary interests are secretly embedded and academia's arguments were also literature studies, and empirical studies were insufficient. Therefore, although empirical preceding studies on national prison officers have been published in 2021, there is a limitation in that it is a study with a strong bureaucratic and sociological context. I wrote this paper from the perspective that it could bring about an profer agenda for the full time prison chaplin introduction because approach through empirical opinion surveys of private prison staffs as other stake holders enables a balanced approach by supplementing the bureaucratic limitations of research targeting only state prison bureaucrats. Therefore, after examining the ideology and status of prison religious educational penalty and the necessity of full time prison chaplin, I empirically examined the effectiveness of the introduction method of the full time prison chaplin, etc through private prison staff as one of the empirical studies for the introduction of full-time prison chaplin.
