Abstract

This study increases awareness of the survey and demand for libraries in correctional facilities, which have not received much attention so far, and is necessary for improving the operation of existing research and libraries in Korea, which is conducting a current status survey of most correctional facility libraries. The contents of the service operation of the external correctional facility library were explored and analyzed. As a result of the analysis, the United States, the United Kingdom, and Germany, where correctional facility libraries are relatively well operated, are practically operating social rehabilitation programs while reducing recidivism of inmates, and library associations or local governments in each country are promoting the vitalization of correctional facility libraries. It helps and organizes committees or organizations involving related experts to discuss policy support, issue checks, research, report publication, drafting and revising guide guidelines, cooperation between libraries, and reflect them in actual operation. In addition, it maintains steady support and interest through public-private cooperation, and makes good use of the linkage system with local public libraries. As a result, it contributes to reducing the recidivism of prisoners. Through this study, the following three areas were suggested for the administrative improvement direction for correctional facility library services. First, the production and distribution of guidelines or guidebooks for correctional facility libraries, second, the establishment of a specialized correctional facility library organization within the correctional headquarters or library association, and third, the strengthening of activities and the operation of law libraries in correctional facilities.

본 연구는 현재까지 주목받고 있지 못한 교정시설도서관의 중요성과 필요성에 대한 인식을 적극 확산시키고, 주로 교정시설도서관에 대한 현황조사 등에 치우쳐 있는 기존 국내 연구와의 차별성을 가지면서도 향후 교정시설도서관에 관한 행정적인 개선 방향에 필요한 부분들을 살펴보고자 외국 교정시설도서관의 서비스 운영 내용을 중점으로 조사하여 분석하였다. 분석결과, 비교적 교정시설도서관 운영이 잘되고 있는 미국, 영국, 독일 등은 사회 복귀 프로그램 등을 실용적으로 운영하고 있으며 각국의 도서관협회나 지방자치단체가 교정시설도서관 활성화를 돕고 관련 전문가들이 참여하는 위원회나 조직을 구성해 정책 지원과 이슈 점검, 연구, 보고서 발행, 가이드 지침 작성 및 개정, 도서관 간 협력 등을 논의하고 실제 운영에 반영한다. 또한 민관협치를 통해 꾸준한 지원과 관심을 유지하며, 지역 공공도서관과의 연계 시스템을 잘 활용하고 있다. 그 결과 수형자의 재범사례를 줄이는데 기여하고 있다. 본 연구를 통해, 교정시설도서관 서비스에 관한 행정적인 개선 방향을 세 가지로 제안하였다. 첫째, 교정시설도서관 서비스 가이드라인이나 가이드북 제작과 배포, 둘째, 교정본부나 도서관협회 내에 교정시설도서관 전문조직 설치와 활동 강화, 셋째, 교정시설 내 법률도서관 운영을 제안하였다.
