64% Informative
81% of children in custody are held in prisons four young offender institutions for under 18 year-olds .
Only 84 children ( 19% of those in custody) are in secure children’s homes, which are childcare establishments run by local authorities focused on providing intensive, expert multidisciplinary care and support to children and their families.
Child imprisonment is typically harmful, spectacularly ineffective as a means of providing community safety, and extraordinarily expensive.
The UK is consistently found to be in violation of the United Nations Convention on the Rights of the Child requirement that a custodial sentence must be a last resort and for the shortest appropriate period of time.
