CYPRUS PRISON DEPARTMENT MALE PRISON GRUNDTVIG LEARNING PARTNERSHIP HYNGARY - PECS 4-6 JUNE 2013 THIRD WORKSHOP TRATTONIKOLAS TASOS
In the past, juvenile offenders were staying in the same wings with older adults. There was no separate section for them. After Cyprus accession in the EU, a new prison wing has been developed for young detainees between the ages of 16- 21. During the day, young offenders can move and take part in the activities of all prisoners. However, if they create problems for the staff or other detainees then they will be moved back to the other wing to spend the rest of their day. A new building is being constructed and will be used exclusively for young offenders so as to avoid contact with older prisoners and/or more serious criminal offenders. TRATTONIKOLAS TASOS
