During the Apartheid period, punishments for juvenile offenders, including political activity, usually dealt with beatings or incarceration for their offenses. South Africa doesn't have sufficient legislation dealing with juvenile crime. Efforts have been made to take a rehabilitative approach to juvenile crime, and over 30,000 cases have been resolved by putting the offenders in rehab programs. Currently, it is possible for a child to be sentenced to life in prison. The public who have been victimized by a high crime rate in South Africa, are not inclined toward sympathy for youthful offenders.

I have it on good authority that they are sent to reform school where they are beaten in to submission. While they are there they are awakened at 4a.m. daily. They only get 1 meal daily while they are there and are treated generally so badly that they never ever want go back. The gentleman who gave me this info is from West Africa. He hold a MS in Social Work and lives here in the U.S.
