Abstract:
Inevitably, there are children who end up in the justice system as suspects,
defendants and sentenced including to custodial sentences. Of course, the particularities and
content of the regulations regarding the implementation of the prison sentence for minors
must be adapted to the specifics and development needs of this category of people. This
article refers to the basic aspects of the current legal framework for the implementation of the
prison sentence for minors, trends and regulatory needs to be approved by the legislator to
achieve the purpose of the custodial sentence. Therefore, it should be organized so that the
time children stay in detention institutions is as short as possible, to contribute to the social
recovery of people and most importantly to prevent antisocial behavior after release from
detention.
