Abstract
This article is devoted to the problems of social rehabilitation of juvenile offenders in the Turin juvenile detention centre which began its work in 1943. Going through the personal files of the juvenile offenders we learn about the reasons that motivated the girls to commit offenses, about their family, financial difficulties, and about organizing educational and character building work specifics in the centre The main task of the juvenile detention centre was to involve girls in industrial work and raise them as hardworking citizens of the country who would have lived for the good of society in the future. The Turin juvenile detention centre wasn’t just a penal institution but also an educational one so political and educational work was carried out in it. However juvenile offenders violated the detention center disciplinary rules hence they were punished. In the case of exemplary behavior or good academic performance and successful work juvenile offenders were encouraged. It was the juvenile detention centres that helped teenagers to adapt to the realities of life, to get an education, to make good and rejoin the society
