Discuss what aftercare consists of in the juvenile justice system

What will be an ideal response?


Aftercare in the juvenile justice system is similar to parole in the adult criminal justice system. When juveniles are released from an institution, they participate in an aftercare program. Aftercare programs consist of transition programming to assist juveniles integrating back into their community. Juveniles can experience many difficulties adjusting to life on the outside after confinement. Case workers maintain contact with juveniles to make sure that a corrections plan is followed and ensure that the juveniles know they have someone to ask for assistance when adjustment is difficult. If the aftercare plan is not followed, juveniles can have their parole revoked and be returned to an institution to serve the remainder of their sentence.
