DEBRECENI JAVÍTÓ INTÉZET

A Javítóintézet 1972-ben épült és 1997-ben a jelenlegi rendeltetésnek megfelelően átalakított illetve felújított háromszintes épület, amely Debrecen kertvárosában a főút mellett helyezkedik el.

Built in 1971, the predecessor of the Debrecen Reformatory started its work as a Girls' Institute. As a consequence of a significant changing of the laws regarding the children care system, the institute had a turn in its profile, and for almost ten years has been dealing with boys, between the age of 14 and 19. The Reformatory has two significant parts, the first one's called foster home. Almost all of the incoming boys start their carrier here.

After the police has arrested and put him into jail for 72 hours at the longest, the Court can postpone this arrestment for another 30 days. In this case they will be brought to our institute where they will be held till the final decision made by the same Court. We can place maximum 60 boys in 6 groups.

The avarage utilization is between 80 and 90% with which we are the leading institute of Hungary in this field. During the avarage 6 months they spend here while the Court makes the final decision, they have some important rights, of course.
