The overall correctional system has national, provincial, and municipal components. Increasing awareness of the damaging effects of institutionalization has led to growing use of diversion and other treatment alternatives outside the correctional system. Youths between ages 10 and 17 who have committed unlawful acts are placed in the custody of the Ministry of Social Services and Development (MSSD), which operates the Integrated Human Resource Program for Youth. The program has four main components: (1) preventive and developmental, (2) early detection and intervention, (3) rehabilitative, and (4) postrehabilitative. Community-based services to youthful offenders include diversion, informal probation, and probation. Offenders who are placed in a residential program receive social services, health services, services related to daily living, psychological and psychiatric treatment, education, training in food preparation and management, informal vocational training, self-employment assistance, physical fitness training, recreational programming, and religious activities. Staff receive both preservice and inservice training. MSSD also collaborates with other agencies in serving youth.
