Abstract

A SURVEY OF THE REHABILITATION CONCEPT AS APPLIED WITH THE PHYSICALLY HANDICAPPED PROVIDES THE MATERIAL FROM WHICH A TENTATIVE FORMULATION FOR AN APPROACH TO CORRECTIONS IS DEVELOPED. A SYNTHESIS OF CORRECTIONAL AND VOCATIONAL REHABILITATION IS PROPOSED IN A MODEL FOR VOCATIONAL REHABILITATION SERVICES IN A STATE INSTITUTION. MANY OBSTACLES TO CORRECTIONAL REHABILITATION ARE NOTED, INCLUDING UNSUITABLE LIVING QUARTERS, INADEQUATE PERSONNEL, INADEQUATE SEGREGATION OF INMATES, INSTITUTIONAL UNEMPLOYMENT, AND THE MONOTONY AND GENERAL OPPRESSIVENESS OF MUCH OF INSTITUTIONAL LIFE.
