The Commissioner for the Protection of Children's Rights expresses concerns about the suitability of the juvenile detention facility in Mennogeia. She emphasizes that the new regulations resemble those of prisons rather than child-friendly environments. There is a call for proper educational facilities and children's rights to be upheld, in order to prevent reoffending. Additionally, she suggests that the management of detention facilities should remain a state responsibility rather than being outsourced.
