White Paper on Crime 2019 Part2/Chapter5/Section3/2
Halfway houses are institutions that are commissioned, mainly by probation offices, to provide accommodation, meals, employment support, living guidance, etc. to persons under probation/parole supervision or those receiving urgent aftercare because of their difficulties in becoming independent due to a lack of residence or person to rely on, and thus support their smooth reintegration into society. As of April 1, 2019, there were 103 halfway houses nationwide.
Fig. 2-5-3-3 shows the trend in the number of persons newly entrusted to halfway houses.
