Abstract	This study examines the efficacy and applicability of various offender rehabilitation methodologies, including Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT), Mindfulness-Based Interventions, Restorative Justice Approaches, Psychosocial Interventions, and Cultural and Contextual Perspectives. Drawing from a comprehensive review of academic literature, the study highlights the strengths and limitations of each approach, particularly focusing on their adaptability in Indian correctional settings. CBT is emphasized for its proven success in addressing cognitive distortions and reducing recidivism rates, while mindfulness-based interventions are lauded for their potential in emotional regulation and psychological well-being. Restorative justice approaches are explored as transformative frameworks that prioritize community and victim-offender reconciliation. Psychosocial interventions demonstrate promise in addressing mental health and social integration needs, whereas cultural considerations reveal critical gaps in the effectiveness of standard rehabilitation models in diverse socio-cultural contexts. Despite these advancements, significant research gaps remain, including limited cross-cultural studies, inadequate attention to gender and marginalized groups, and the absence of long-term impact evaluations. The study concludes by proposing future research directions to bridge these gaps, emphasizing culturally adaptive, inclusive, and technology-driven strategies to enhance offender rehabilitation outcomes. Implications for policy-making and practical applications in correctional facilities are also discussed.
