Abstract
Drawing on empirical data from two individual research projects,
this paper extends the literature on child and youth incarceration
and offers a previously unexplored analysis of experiences and
transitions through institutional environments for young people.
Different penal environments have different operational practices
and treatment according to arbitrary age-determined
constructions of childhood, youth and young adulthood,
evidenced by decreasing safeguards. This article demonstrates
the reduction of operative and supportive investment in those
held, and the shifting perception from children that require
‘training’ to young people and young adults who are managed
and whose particular needs are neglected. The arbitrary nature of
transitions presents a paradox between developmental maturity
as an individualistic ongoing process and arbitrary age-determined
transitions. As such, it is argued that there should be
a more developmental approach to caring for young people
across penal environments which accounts for their ongoing
maturity and complex needs.
