Getting your rights Q9 Do you think there should be the option to suspend a sentence and if so should it apply to all children and young people aged 10 to 17? Q10 Do you think there should be a minimum age that young people should be allowed to be sent to custody for less serious crimes? If so, what should this be? 10 - 17 years old 10
HYDEBANK OR WOODLANDS HYDEBANK OR WOODLANDS Turning 18 whilst in Juvenile Justice Centre For some young people who are given a Juvenile Justice Centre Order when they are 16 or 17, it means they would turn 18 when they are still in the Juvenile Justice Centre, which is only meant to be for young people under 18. Three options are being thought about for when this happens 1. All young people who turn 18 when they are in the Juvenile Justice Centre are transferred to Hydebank Wood Young Offenders Centre; or 2. If a young person only has a short amount of time left of their sentence to go after their 18th birthday, they stay in Woodlands until the sentence is finished; or 3. Whether or not a young person stays in the Juvenile Justice Centre after they turn 18 could depend on other things, like: »» How mature they are; or »» If Woodlands is a better place for them than Hydebank Wood would be; or »» If they are in the middle of an education or training programme at Woodlands. 11
