The main purpose of a prison sentence for minors is resocialization. When young people are outside again, they must have received sufficient support not to make the same mistake again. Yet the recidivism rates remain high. More than half of young people who have served a prison sentence commit another crime and are back in juvenile detention within two years. Pointer investigates why this figure remains so high. Is it simply a group that cannot be saved? Or are we asking the impossible of young people who are struggling with complex problems?
