This study was conducted with male protected boys who received No. 10 disposition, who were in the reformatory. Six participants were selected and through in-depth interviews the researchers examined what experiences they had in reformatory and what their experiences mean to them. The research method was analyzed through Giorgi’s phenomenological research procedure, a qualitative research method. As a result of the study, 4 essential elements and 15 sub-elements were derived. The four essential elements were ‘big change in living environment’, ‘conflict and adaptation’, ‘reflective reflection and change’, and ‘worries about new life’, Through these components, experiencing the process of adaptation to the reformatory, its accompanying conflicts and the need for a new start after being discharged from the reformatory were discovered as the subject of this study. Based on the results of this study, finally, it was intended to contribute to providing a more practical and systematic reformatory education program.
