In the United States, incarceration rates are at the highest- there are about 707,000 in the prison population around the world alone. Rehabilitation is defined as "restoration of an entity to its normal or near-normal functional capabilities after the occurrence of a disabling event" (Cullen 1326). In the 1800's, treatment was dispersed as general defiance and punishment for the actions of the individual. It wasn't until the mid-1900, that doctors began to search for further into the specific reasoning of why crime was committed.

Introspection such as psychology, was perceived in many cases and in most cases it was realized it was not a matter of having the freedom to be on your own, but the environmental surroundings that make one's development. Command Officer of these services announced that prisoners were in fact behaving differently, cooperating and becoming self-aware of their actions. During his interview, he also stated that as a minister of defense, it was wise to plan ahead for these rehabilitation projects (Perez 949). What prison programs could the Salvation Army have? Despite the efforts of many other organizations, surprisingly the army is the most successful. Starting in 1800's, this rehabilitation program reflected on the unfortunate events going on around the world and as time went on the events became worse. When dealing with inmate population Salvation Army provides programs such as; help with employment, spiritual ministry, material aid, half way homes, and service community. .
