The study identifies several effective strategies, including empathetic communication, individualized behavioral guidance, and the integration of social support networks within and beyond the correctional environment. However, the study also highlights key obstacles, including limited human resources, inconsistent program structures, and insufficient psychological training among counselors. These limitations often hinder the consistency and depth of intervention outcomes. The study concludes that a comprehensive model of correctional counseling rooted in humanistic and behavioral principles and aligned with well-being theory can significantly enhance the psychosocial development and reintegration readiness of child inmates. This research contributes to the broader discourse on correctional social work by presenting an empirically grounded model for fostering child well-being in custodial settings, offering policy implications for correctional reform and social rehabilitation programs in Indonesia.
