Jo Butcher, assistant director - children's development at NCB, said:"Young people in custody are particularly vulnerable and need a lot ofhelp to lead healthy, positive lives. The time they spend in custody isa valuable window of opportunity to help them turn their lives aroundand reduce the risks of future offending.
"Like all young people, those in custody are experts in their own lifeexperiences and can help us find the solutions. They may have lost theirright to freedom, but they still have a right to express themselves andarticipate in decisions that affect them.
