SLIDE 2 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
- lder prisoners and/or more serious criminal offenders.
