AB  - The issue of the convicted minors' legal status viewed from a psychological perspective is one of topical interest in the penitentiaries for minors in Romania. Minority is thus considered not just from a legal point of view, but also from a psychological one because a crisis over this topic is currently passed in Romania. The de facto situation is emphasized in all the specific institutions which have as an objective the re-education of convicted minors. The current paper highlights certain arguments in order to expand the informational spectrum of the state institutions who serve the purpose of promoting and developing special programs for minors' social reintegration during their period of incarceration. From this point of view, the paper focuses on the implementation of these standardized programs, but also evaluates equally the potentiality law enforcement offers in supporting those who execute a deprivation of liberty penal punishment. Are the Romanian authorities able to manage this situation? Are there enough instruments implemented to support the incarcerated minors? These are questions which deserve adequate answers.
