(1) Reasons for discharge
  Table 4-2-4-11 shows the number of discharged juveniles in 2006 by reason.
  About 98% were granted provisional discharge with parole supervision and about 2% were granted discharge without parole supervision. For most discharged juveniles, transition from institutional treatment to community-based treatment is smoothly implemented.
  The average term in juvenile training schools in 2006 was 149 days for general short-term treatment programs, 84 days for special short-term treatment programs, and 390 days for long-term treatment programs (Source: Annual Report of Statistics on Correction).

(3) Status of re-admittance, etc.
  Table 4-2-4-13 shows the status of re-admittance of discharged juveniles between 1997 and 2006.
  The percentage of those re-admitted to juvenile training schools within five years from discharge was between 16 and 17 percent and the percentage of those admitted to prisons (only those admitted for the first time) within five years from discharge (the last discharge in the case of juveniles who were admitted to juvenile training schools more than once) was between 9 and 11 percent.
