Abstract
This was a qualitative investigation, which aimed to study the history of the use of culture to help rehabilitate offenders in Northeastern Thailand, to study the current use of culture to help rehabilitate offenders in Northeastern Thailand and to integrate organizational cultural components to rehabilitate offenders in Northeastern Thailand. Data were collected from September 2013 to December 2014 by survey, observation, interview and focus group discussion. The current conditions and problems with the probation program were examined in six areas: the rule of law, ethics, transparency, participation, responsibility and organization value. It was found that currently the probation office organises activities to help offenders develop their levels of morality, responsibility and social participation in order to allow the transition back into society. However, there are not enough staff members to work with the offenders. The integration of organizational cultural components to rehabilitate offenders can be achieved in three ways: 1) probation and examination; 2) care, correction and rehabilitation; 3) community activities. The organizational culture of the probation office helps generate respect and promote ethical behaviour in offenders.
