Available treatment courses (See (1) c. of Subsection 2, Section 4, Chapter 1, Part 3) at juvenile training schools include the living guidance course G2, which was established in 1993 to cope with the increasing number of foreign national juvenile inmates. Foreign national juveniles that require different treatment from that of Japanese juveniles are categorized into the living guidance course G2 and provided with guidance on Japanese-language acquisition and the basic living style in Japan after consideration of whether they will remain in Japan or not after being discharged

By nationality, etc., the largest number were from South/North Korea at 100, followed by Brazil at 88, the Philippines at 66, China at 55, and Peru at 33 (See Appendix 4-6 for details).
