Little prisoners: Over 40 minors at the Correcting Center

There are more than 40 minors who have violated the law, some of them for serious murder, standing at the Lipjan Correcting Centre. Social Affairs officials seek the support of family members until prisoners themselves have messages about their peers. They say the prison door is big [...]
They say the prison door is big to get in, but small to go! The same is true of a minor from the municipality of Gjilan, located in the correctional centre in Lipjan for years now.
And for the murder he committed years ago, this young man will be standing behind bars for a few years.
I've been coming here at age 16, I've been here for four years and a few months, I've been convicted of serious murder, six years, 6 months,”, the minor said.
Though deprived of freedom, he is using his time in prison to study.
I'm with all my colleagues here, with my staff in a good relationship, I'm having trouble with no one, here with my husband we do sports activities and some training together, I'm a second-year student at the economic faculty at éhasan Pristina, banking and finance studies, during day and school process, I learn, I do faculty duty, I'm going to exercise, I'm ready for tests<1>, says the juvenile for RTK.
Sorry for what he has done, the gentile has a call for everyone.
My message to others to be more consistent, to think twice before doing something, and to think rationally. I immediately repented as it happened, I didn't wish what happened, but fate had been. We look forward with joy when the weekend comes that wanting to go to the family is a wish that nothing else is changed here but the distance we are away from family”, he said.
The youth's life in prison spoke of the social work official at this center, Flalle Ymer, according to which family support should never be missed for these people.
“It doesn't mean that everything is dark in the correctional center, that I don't want to call it jail because there's also a potentially extenuating situation for the public and the minors and their family, because we here treat all minors equally and equally, we don't judge or prejudge for their actions, our interest is that the minors get as useful from our institution”, said Flaut Ymer, for official social work.
The correctional centre for minors in Lipjan has the capacity for 120 people, while there are currently over 40 minors who have violated the law.
