Opposition Rastriya Prajatantra Party (RPP) MP Saraswati Lama has said that juvenile correctional homes should be developed not only as places of detention but also as centers for managing skilled human resources who understand the family environment and child psychology.
At the Law, Justice and Human Rights Committee meeting held at Singha Durbar on Sunday, MP Lama expressed her views in favor of the human rights and reform of children in juvenile correctional homes. In a discussion on the report submitted by the Inspection and Observation Subcommittee on the Condition of Children in Juvenile Correctional Homes, she gave various suggestions for the management of the correctional home and improvement of the behavior of children.
MP Lama said that the staff or guardians deployed in the correctional home should be physically and mentally capable and should understand child psychology. She suggested that meditation should be arranged as well as prayers or sermons according to their religious beliefs to make children disciplined and moral. MP Lama objected to the 'Naike Pratha' prevailing in the correctional home.
'It is not appropriate to have a boss or someone who can influence other children in a juvenile detention center. This can increase the risk of abuse of power and wrong influence. The responsibility of maintaining security and discipline should be taken by trained security personnel and responsible employees,' she said.
She also emphasized that punishment should be arranged based on the nature of the crime and that those who make minor mistakes should be given a chance to reform by being explained to them. MP Lama expressed the view that real reform would be possible only if children can be made to understand the impact of their mistakes on society and the victims.
