Kids in Juvenile Homes Exposed to Drugs and Sexual Abuse

Now that the 17 year old has undergone a de-addiction programme and is preparing to start over his life as a motor mechanic, he understands that drug addiction is worse than getting stuck behind the high walls of a juvenile prison and has made resolutions never to indulge again with drugs.

He finally remarked, "If you pay money to the guards, anything is possible. I have seen drug packets being procured even when the boys go to the court for hearing. I was lucky I spent only a little time there and was able to get de-addicted. But unless conditions improve, most of the boys inside won't be coming out reformed. Instead, they will come out as future Dawood Ibrahims," as reported by TNN.

Drug abuse leads many into a lot of trouble and the worst kind of trouble seems to be a juvenile correction center for these young men, but the need to provide de-addiction programme has become a must in the country to avoid creating future criminals and reforming the naive young ones.
