Petition Action

Bring borstal school system back for young offenders

Petition Details

I strongly believe that borstal school system will help control knife and gang related culture in our youths. Statistically re-offending ratio between borstal school system and prison is 30:78. Borstal school gave youth a chance to a better future.

Additional Information

Borstal school system was generally run by ex service men/women, which trained and managed youth giving them a better chance in future.

This petition was rejected

The Government e-Petitions Team gave the following reason:

It's not clear what you would like the Government to do. Young people in custody are in a range of settings, which does not include prison:

You could start a petition seeking a change to how youth detention centres are run, such as by putting service personnel in charge, if that is what you would like to achieve.
