Abstract : Basically, detained children, like any other children, have the right to education. Unfortunately in most of prisons worldwide, education programs seem not to meet the general requirements or are simply forgotten. In some cases, these programs are not available when on the other side, they are unable to respond to their major goal of preparing children inmates for rehabilitation and reintegration into their community. That is the case at Munzenze prison in the Democratic Republic of Congo where evidence shows that there is no education program for children inmates. This paper tries to identify the gaps while establishing the urgency for correctional education especially the need for peace education. This could be a good way to help the children to return to their society. Data were collected through interviews using a question guide.

Keywords : Peace Education, Rehabilitation, Reintegration, Children Inmates, Prison.
