Juvenile Offenders
(a) A court shall not sentence a juvenile to prison
unless it has first considered a probation officer's report and has come to the conclusion that there is no other way of dealing with him.
(b) A court may, if it thinks it appropriate, suspend
a sentence of imprisonment so that it is not served unless the person convicted offends again during the period of suspension.
(c) A juvenile offender, if the court considers that
a custodial sentence is required, instead of being sent to a jail, may be sent to a Detention Centre where for a period of 3 months he will be subject to discipline, or to a Training Centre vhere for a period of 9 months to 3 years (the average is 15 months) he will be subject to discipline and also will be taught a trade. Before being sent to either institution the juvenile must be considered suitable by the Commissioner of Prisons.
