Kathmandu. The parliamentarians have emphasized that Nepal’s children’s correctional homes should be developed as correctional homes.
In today’s meeting of the Law, Justice and Human Rights Committee of the House of Representatives, in the discussion on the report of the sub-committees formed for on-site monitoring of Nepal’s juvenile correctional homes and prisons, the parliamentarians emphasized that juvenile correctional homes should be developed as correctional homes according to the law.
The parliamentarians emphasized that the children’s correctional home has been turned into a prison home and that they should not delay in changing it to the concept of an open prison and developing it as a correctional center.
The parliamentarians pointed out that there is a need to pay attention to the provision of health care, drinking water and sanitation in juvenile correctional homes and prisons and the need to build an effective physical structure to solve the problem in the long term.
The parliamentarians emphasized that children who have reached the age of 18 years and below are kept together and people who have been in correctional facilities for different reasons such as murder, drug use, and coercion are kept together because it creates more problems.
