abstract="PURPOSE Gratitude is an element of positive psychology that has been found effective in improving subjective well-being and decreasing aggression in offenders. However, there is a dearth of studies on gratitude in ex-juvenile offenders. This study aims to explore the gratitude of ex-juvenile offenders using a photovoice technique. <br><br>DESIGN/METHODOLOGY/APPROACH Photos and stories behind pictures were collected from eight ex-juvenile offenders who reside in Kupang, Indonesia. <br><br>FINDINGS Thematic analysis resulted in four main themes: family as an oasis of gratitude, difficulty in social reintegration, strong peer support and gratitude and spirituality. <br><br>ORIGINALITY/VALUE The results of this study indicated that family, peer support and intensive spiritual activities in prisons were influential in forming a sense of gratitude for ex-juvenile offenders. Interventions need to consider these three aspects to improve gratitude and resulting well-being in ex-juvenile offenders.  Keywords: Juvenile Justice <p /> <p>Language: en</p>",
