監獄受刑人接受團體輔導矯正處遇之成效：以某監獄之實施為例
Group Guidance Program for Prison Inmates: Planning, Implementation, and Reflection
摘要
監獄受刑人服刑滿二分之一且列名累進處遇一級或二級方能申請假釋。近年來由於受我國刑事政策兩極化之影響，對於申請假釋之受刑人從嚴審核，使得監所之一級受刑人能夠獲得假釋者越來越少。為了舒緩申請假釋審核未獲通過之一級受刑人之情緒，協助他們於長期與社會隔離後日後復歸社會及家庭能有較佳之適應，本研究團隊在台灣南部某一監獄以此類暴力犯罪受刑人十二人為對象，設計了以個人情緒支持、家庭系統支持與生涯規劃為主題的八週矯正成長團體，試圖藉由團體輔導之方式，讓受刑人成員在團體活動過程中，提供成員一個安全與信賴的環境，經由領導者之引導，讓成員在此團體中有機會彼此分享心中感受，並獲得情緒調適、家庭生活及生涯規劃之再成長。本研究發現此一團體輔導確能提供受刑人正向之團體動力，協助他們自由分享心中鬱積之負面情緒、思考日後家庭生活與社會適應，以及個人生涯規劃之正面方向，團體成員大多數顯示出對此類團體之正面態度，本團體之經驗值得在監院所內對受刑人加以推廣以協助其日後更生。本文亦提出此類團體改進之建議。

According to Accumulation of Treatment regulation, prison inmates are subject to be eligible for the application for early release (parole) when they stand onto the first or second class of progressive treatment system after they pass half of their term. Under the influence of polarized criminal justice policy in the past few years, many first class inmates were declined in the parole application. In order to help release those inmates' negative emotion and help them cultivate better ability for future social lives and adaptation, the present research team designed a guidance group for 12 prison inmates at a southern prison. The topics, which made up of 8 weeks of correctional group, included in the program were personal emotion management, family support system, and career planning. The group leaders provided a safe and trustable environment for those inmates to share with others and freely talk about their concerns which were related to their personal feelings, their families and future lives. The present study found that this group guidance program indeed could provide positive group dynamics for participants and could be helpful for the inmates to share their feelings, and to think more and deeper about their future family/social lives. Most of the participants showed positive attitude toward the group program and thought that they benefited from the program. In this article, the research team discussed pros and cons of the program and concluded that this type of group program should be worthy of reproducing in other similar institutions.
