Cap. 602 Art. 26Therapeutic and Secure Centre.

(1) There shall be established a Therapeutic and Secure

Centre within that entity mentioned by the Minister by notice in the Gazette, having the purpose of holding minors with serious behavioural difficulties in a safe and adequate place so that they be given the required therapy and assistance in order to return to society and participate in it in an appropriate manner.

(2) The prerequisites for a minor to be possibly placed under a programme within the Therapeutic and Secure Centre are that:

(a) the minor absconded or it is probable that he will abscond again and, if the minor so absconds it is probable that his physical, psychological and moral well-being be put at risk; or

(b) it is probable that the minor behaves in such a manner as to possibly hurt himself; or

(c) it is probable that the minor may cause harm to another person.
