Inspections: Major Problems in All Youth Prisons
Three inspection services have sent an urgent letter to State Secretary Claudia van Bruggen highlighting severe safety and care issues in Dutch youth prisons. Inspectors report that staff shortages and inexperienced personnel have led to reduced activities, with many facilities failing to meet the legal requirement of 77 weekly hours. The inspections warn that the current conditions violate children's rights and hinder rehabilitation, prompting calls for immediate government intervention to improve living conditions and safety.
