Tbilisi. The UN Children’s Fund released the
results of monitoring over juvenile institutions. Juvenile prisoners note in
interviews with UNICEF that they are protected from injuries and ill-treatment
and that the escort treat them much better."Treatment
towards juveniles in prisons is better, nevertheless, challenges still remain”,
– says the information released by the organization. UNICEF calls on the
government to complete the renovation works of the Avchala special juvenile
institution as soon as possible in order for the juveniles placed currently in the
Rustavi prison #17 to return to the improved environment. In addition, UNICEF
calls on the government to restore as quickly as possible the education process
for all juveniles serving in the prison.The
organization carries out independent monitoring in the places where the
juveniles serve since 25 September 2012. Primary goal of monitoring is to check
if the juveniles are in a safe environment, if their fundamental rights are
protected, and if they are safeguarded from violence, insult and humiliation.
