Secure units for children
- Secure units for children
Secure Units for Children are where children who break the law are sent to punish them and also to protect other people if their offense put other people at risk. In secure units they try and stop re-offending. The units also educate children and there are activities for children to do but there are a large amount of limits and children usually can’t do simple things like change the channel on the TV. The system is very like the prison system.
Children sleep in rooms which are usually secure, and are locked at night. Children are away from home but keep touch through visits. There are psychiatric secure units for children who are not stable enough to be in normal secure settings.
