Borstal School in Kakkanad: Clarification on its function and difference from a jail

The social media discussion regarding the transfer of Suhail Sajeevi to the Borstal School in Nedumbassery sparked a discussion about its function. The Borstal School, located near the Kakkanad District Jail, is legally designated for juveniles under 21 years of age. The facility is described as a protective center under the Social Justice Department, focusing on rehabilitation rather than punishment. It provides opportunities for skills development, such as farming and badminton, and includes various classes and physical exercises for the residents.
