Chris Grayling announces youth offenders reform
Justice Secretary Chris Grayling will today announce proposals to reform young offenders institutes by putting education at the heart of them.
Secure colleges will be considered, "providing education in a period of detention".
According to Mr Grayling, there is too much re-offending because teenagers do not have the skills to form a new life, or get a job, when they leave.
The green paper - Transforming Youth Custody: Putting Education at the Heart of Detention - is published today.
