At the time of our visit, each child had a mattress on the cement floor, although officials pointed to bunk beds that were being built for the juvenile section. They appeared to have little opportunity for exercise apart from playing in a large open-air courtyard that the adults also use. The children had no access to education, although we have heard recently that they may be starting to offer some classes. What happens to the boys when they are released? None of the boys I spoke to were unscarred by the experience. Two boys told me they dropped out of school. One felt his reputation was tarnished.
