Custodial sentences need to incorporate three factors: (1) deterrence for both the offender and for others, (2) punishment through the deprivation of liberty, and (3) protection for the community. Areas needing increased attention in corrections are the professionalization of correctional personnel, careful intake procedures for offenders, offender classification, provision of counseling, programs for physically and mentally handicapped inmates, and educational and vocational programs. Another focus of effort should be programs aimed at showing young male offenders that society will not tolerate their behavior. The program that the author introduced in Hong Kong is accomplishing this goal and has achieved an 86-percent success rate in terms of 3-year followup data. It emphasizes discipline, hard work, constant supervision, group counseling, remedial education, and aftercare.
