Baan Kanjanapisek is a model training centre that uses both love and trust to rehabilitate young offenders. The centre does not use corporal punishment or other harsh punitive measures to control juvenile offenders, and the centre itself is not surrounded by high walls. The young offenders here are not perceived as "prisoners", but rather as members of society who have made "mistakes". The learning environment and activities at the centre are designed to prepare them for a fresh start in life and to help ensure they do not get involved in criminal activity again after they are released
