The phenomenon of the minor’s being in conflict with law became an interest subject for jurists, social assistants, psychologists and professors from the Republic of Moldova. An acknowledgement for that thing is the fact that the process of reforming minors’ justice is developing during the last years. By this context, a key role is granted to penitentiary institutions as a method of reeducation and social reinsertion of offender minors. Obviously negative consequences of freedom lack in adolescence can not be neglected. That’s why international organizations encourage non imprisonment penalties in minors’ cases (e.g. UND Minimum Standards of minor’s justice administration, UND Rules for imprisoned minors’ protection) which offer to teen‑agers the chance to continue studies, to be in contact with family, to participate in community’s life and to gain social experience.
