Support to Children in Conflict with Law

BACKGROUND

The Tetovo Juvenile Detention Centre is a specialized educational and correctional facility of semi-open type, whose primary function is to implement a resocialization treatment for minors and young male adults aged 14 to 23, who have conducted various crimes, and have been sentenced to prison. The duration of the prison sentence is one to five years.

The rate of recidivism with the convicted persons in Macedonia is quite high, especially with children and youth. Because of the weaknesses in the system and the process of resocialization in the last ten years, a big number of children and youth remain returnees to the penitentiary system. Because of the poor economic situation of the parents, the visits by the biological families to the children in the Tetovo Juvenile Detention Centre are very rare, while at the same time being necessary for the successful resocialization and inclusion in the family and the broader community. Additional support to the child – convict and his closer family is needed, in order to build their relations and climate of mutual support. Additional education and motivation of the officials in the Department for Expert and Instruction Affairs is also needed, as well as furnishing additional tools in the workshop. The vocational training helps to strengthen the skills for employment and social inclusion of this group of marginalized persons after the end of the detention.
