Military Prisoners: Part V. Correctional Treatment (1960)

The film discusses the Army’s correctional treatment program for military prisoners, emphasizing the importance of understanding the motivations behind offenses rather than merely punishing them. It highlights individual evaluations to identify underlying issues, such as personal circumstances that lead to offenses like going AWOL. The program aims to rehabilitate soldiers by providing counseling, retraining, and support from their commanders, ultimately preparing them for either a return to military duty or reintegration into civilian life. Several case studies illustrate how tailored treatment can transform troubled soldiers into responsible individuals.
