Prison Service Chief Opposes Jailing 13-Year-Olds for Serious Crimes

The Government and The Sweden Democrats want to lower the age of criminal responsibility from 15 to 13 years for serious crimes – but the Director-General of the Prison and Probation Service does not think that 13-year-olds should be in prison. They should be taken care of by the social services or caring institutions, which are not prisons, says Martin Holmgren in SVT's "30 minutes".
