Her Majesty's Young Offender Institution (or HMYOI) is a type of prison in Great Britain, intended for offenders aged between 18 and 20,[1] although some prisons (particularly Ashfield[2] and Huntercombe[3]) cater for younger offenders from ages 15 to 17, who are classed as juvenile offenders.[4] Typically those aged under 15 will be held in a Secure Children's Home and those over 15 will be held in either a Young Offender Institution or Secure Training Centre.[5] Generally a young offender is regarded as such until the date of their 21st or 22nd birthday, whereupon he or she will be sent to an adult prison or can remain in the YOI until they turn 22 if deemed appropriate.
I dont think i knew that!??
Im in Scotland, and know a few who were in YO..... seems a bit of a “skoosh” to me! Unlocked cells, snooker tables, sky tv & playstations!!!
This programme had the prison guards shouting & giving out orders like bootcamp.
Reduced a previously cocky boy to tears! Hope he has learned a lesson.
They showed the YO’s the high security prisoners- frightening to watch x

... and these young people will go home to the people they have known all their lives, who will tell them it is nothing like that.
I saw a few minutes a couple of days back - inmates banging on glass-panelled cell doors, shouting threats - anybody who thinks it continues at that intensity 24 hours a day is a mug. The prisoners were reacting to their visitors, quite possibly in the way they have been asked to do every time they see teenagers in zebra stripes.
If US prisons, even the supermax facilities, were an effective deterrent they would be decreasing in number rather than increasing.
