Welcome to Wokeinville prison -Outrage as prison officers told to knock on cell doors before entering to make youth detention centres 'more child friendly'

Prison officers have been told to knock before entering the cells of young inmates in order to make youth detention centres 'more child friendly'.

The edict follows a review by the Youth Custody Service who are responsible for institutions holding inmates aged up to 18.

The new guidelines mandate that officers working in youth detention centres must operate with a 'child centred' focus.

According to The Times, the new guidelines would respect the privacy of young offenders.

Unless there is an emergency officers have been warned: 'Staff should knock prior to opening a viewing panel or entering a room.

'It is important that appropriate language is used that reflect the specific, decent, respectful and caring culture that the youth custody service thrive for.'

If they are old enough to offend they are old enough to take the consequences of being treated as inmates while serving their sentence.
