The main goal of the MCLA is to create the penitentiary and probation system that is commensurate with European standards. One of the fundamental parts of this reform is development of the juvenile justice system. The reform aims at elaborating the special approach towards juveniles in the penitentiary system that will be different from the one towards adults. The special approach should achieve juveniles' rehabilitation, re-socialisation and their return as full members of the society.

These are our guideline principles of our approach towards juvenile convicts in penitentiary and probation system.
