Regeringen inför ungdomsfängelser – nio av tio återfaller i brott på SiS-hem

The government is now taking a step closer to sentencing children and young people as young as 13 to prison With it comes the challenge of ensuring children receive education and achieving better rehabilitation than has been possible so far It's all about ensuring the creation of a business tailored to children It's the case that we have a situation where extremely young perpetrators commit extremely serious crimes such as murder We need stronger societal protection alongside ensuring individuals can turn their lives around and leave a criminal path behind That's what you do in a setting where children's best interests remain the priority The education will operate in accordance with the school law It will include the subjects required by the school law And if it's younger people or youth who have subjects other than just the basic and fundamental ones they will also be represented accordingly The goal is teacher-led physical education classes in smaller groups tailored to individual needs Unfortunately many of those who end up in psychiatric care today have had a difficult time in school struggled academically and therefore need extra support We'll make sure they receive it at the facility Currently there is no outpatient care associated with the CIS homes How will this change when young people begin serving prison sentences The major change happening now is that the prison service is taking responsibility for probation What we've seen with CIS shelters is that nine out of ten people who leave them end up reoffending We mean that the Prison and Probation Service has a completely different opportunity compared to CIS to properly support young people upon their release and that they also follow up with them to ensure they lead more honest lives than has been the case at previous CIS facilities
