On detention: The use of prison for girls aged under 18

 

The objective of this project was to examine the processes that assist with effective resettlement for juvenile girls with specific reference to the work of the Rivendell Unit* by:

  • identifying the concerns that young women and staff have about effective resettlement specifically in terms of gender;

  • identifying successful current practice for this group in resettlement;

  • identifying barriers to effective resettlement; and

  • charting the experience of resettlement for these young women and follow-up issues over a set period of time.
