수형자들은 범행의도를 인정하고, 교정시설에서 그에 상응하는 벌을 받고 있는 사람들이다. 그러나 교정 프로그램은 수형자들이 범죄를 선택한 자유의지에 바탕을 둔 내적 변화보다는 상과 벌에 의한 외현적 행동수정을 우선적으로 추구한다. 그래서 처벌과 교정은 서로 일치하지 않는다. 범행의도에 의해서 별을 받는 수형자들에게 자유의지를 기본으로 하는 교정을 수행하기 위해서 실존주의 심리학적 접근이 타당하다. 실존주의 심리학적은 수형자들이 자신의 현존재를 솔직하게 받아들이게 하고, 자신이 세상에 존재하는 이유를 분명히 깨닭게 하고, 그리고 세상 을 자유롭게 설계할 수 있도록 도움을 줄 것이다.

Convicted persons are those who have accepted the responsibility for their criminal behaviors and are being punished in the correctional institutions. And then the correctional programs should be performed according to those aimed to the change of the inner aspects of criminals. However the currently using programs stress the changes of criminals' extrovert behaviors through behavioral modification by rewards and punishments rather than those of inner ones. Furthermore it is agreeable that the whole climate of correction institutions is nearer to punishments rather than rewards. The effects of punishment especially is temporary and behaviors punished only show the reduction of the number of responses. Therefore if punishment is quit, behaviors that were repressed will be recovered to the first situation. For this reason, the two, the purposes of correction and the reasons of sentences are inconsistent one another. Such incompatibility can generate such problems as rationalization about criminal behaviors in the short term and repeated offenses in the long term. The congruously correctional programs between them are definitely needed for criminals' behaviors to be changed. Also the necessity should be first found within the reason of sentencing because sentencing is prior to correction. For leading to inner change of criminals, it is desirable for existential psychology to be applied to the correction situation. It helps criminals approve their current existence within the world, recognize the real reason for their existence, and design freely their own world. When all those things are possible, the genuine repentance of criminals' sins will be followed and then the successful effects of correction will be shown.
