	Borstal Jail - Youthful Offenders - Rules And Orders Of The Lahore High Court, Lahore
		It is not essential, before an order is passed for detention in a Borstal Institution, that a previous conviction should be established but in the language of section 6 of the Punjab Act there must be "criminal habits or tendencies or association with persons of bad character".
		In view of this wording it would be permissible to order Borstal detention, for instance, in the case of lad of sixteen or seventeen who had been associated with older men in a burglary or dacoity, provided that he had not been personally concerned in murder or some similar offence.
		The Borstal Institution has of course, its school, as well as the factories in which the lads are given vocational training, but the educational arrangements are much more elaborate.

	Borstal - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		In the United Kingdom, a Borstal was a juvenile detention centre or reformatory, an institution of the criminal justice system, intended to reform delinquent male youths aged between about 16 and 21.
		It was the task of Sir Evelyn Ruggles-Brise (1857-1935), a prison commissioner, to introduce the system and the first institution was established at Borstal Prison in Borstal, near Rochester in north Kent, England in 1902.
		Borstal also featured in an edition of Chris Morris' Brass Eye entitled Crime, in which the original inmates of the Borstal have continually failed their release tests and are now old men, still imprisoned.

	Prison Bound
		Borstals are defined under these laws as places where juveniles may be detained and provided with "industrial training and other instruction" as well as "disciplinary and moral influences" that will encourage their reformation.
		The Prison Rules deviate from the Borstal Act in two important respects: they require the transfer to the borstal of all juvenile convicts sentenced to terms of three months or more,177 and the transfer to adult prisons of all borstal inmates who have reached the age of twenty-one.
		Although most children detained in the borstal may be handicapped by an inadequate primary or middle school education, the controlled environment of the institute-where their attendance can be ensured and progress monitored-presents an ideal opportunity for them to resume their studies and pursue matriculation or even higher education.

	WORLD CORPORAL PUNISHMENT: CANING IN NORTHERN IRELAND BORSTAL
		When the borstal was based at Cork, a visitor censured the régime;[35] similar criticisms continued to be made, and in 1948, by which time the borstal had returned to Clonmel, the visiting committee published the pamphlet, The Borstal Institution at Clonmel, which was designed to set the record straight.
		In the first place, when the legislation on corporal punishment in borstal was under consideration, Nationalist and other non-Unionist MPs did not hesitate to condemn beating as degrading, even though by then the régime in the North was recognisably based on that of a school.
		Moreover, the mere fact that the borstal régime is so modelled is no guarantee that corporal punishment will be available: in English borstals, after the early nineteen twenties, it was not practised.

	Borstal Boy - Movie Review
		In the uplifting Emerald Isle melodrama Borstal Boy, Jim’s brother Peter Sheridan effectively explores the trials and tribulations of a 16-year old boy’s exploits behind the unbearable confines of a British World War II borstal, a reformatory center for boys, based on charismatic Irish writer Brendan Behan’s memoir.
		Borstal Boy, gallantly written by Nye Heron and director Sheridan, is masterfully shot courtesy of Ciaran Tanham’s active camera, capturing the taut and stylish feel of the film.
		Refreshingly stark in its cavorting homoeroticism, Borstal Boy is a stimulating tale that recalls the adventurous antics of an Irish literary figurehead who engaged in a colorful and carousing existence during tremendous, trying times.

	"Borstal Boy" - Salon
		In short order his botched smuggling operation is exposed, and young Brendan is sent off to a "Borstal," or juvenile prison, where his attention is quickly divided between the warden's daughter, Liz (Eva Birthistle), and a Cockney fellow prisoner named Charlie (Danny Dyer), both of whom have crushes on him.
		All that said, fans of Behan's work and of Irish movies in general will be rewarded by "Borstal Boy" despite its overly familiar set of prison-movie episodes and the unlikely tragedy that falls in the center of the film (and seems to be promptly forgotten).
		His Borstal -- actually filmed in Ireland's County Kildare, although the setting is the north of England -- is a place where boys are hardened, not healed.

	Huntly Castle - A Review of the Health of Borstal Boys
		It was quite an experiment, as it was the first Open Borstal in Scotland, no one knew what type of boy would benefit in an Open Borstal, and I was the first woman medical officer to Borstal boys.
		We started with fifteen boys, among whom there were some highly skilled cat burglars and pickpockets and these boys found the freedom of an Open Borstal suited their talents.
		Consequently for many years every boy in the Castle had something amiss, malnutrition and old rickets were common, and many were still suffering from the affects of inadequately treated childish illnesses — pneumonia and emphysema, bronchioctasis from whooping cough; corneal opacities from measles; rheumatic fever and mitral stenosis, acute and chronic otitis medis.

	Borstal Boy \| The A.V. Club
		Irish novelist and playwright Brendan Behan, a self-described "drinker with a writing problem," finally succumbed to the bottle at 41, leaving behind a knotty personal history and a healthy reputation for raucous behavior.
		Headed by a warden (Michael York) who actually takes the "reform" part seriously, the borstal runs on an honor system that affords the students an unusual degree of trust and respect.
		Though he considers himself a P.O.W. and is therefore required to attempt escape, Behan begins to warm to his new environment and takes an early interest in literature, particularly the works of fellow rebel and jailbird Oscar Wilde.

	www.delawareonline.com : ENTERTAINMENT : Movie review : Borstal Boy
		"Borstal Boy," which was "inspired by" Behan's memoir of the same name, is a portrait of that troubled artist as a young man trying to figure out how to be himself.
		Although the film initially shows Behan bristling at anything resembling a comforting male presence, one of "Borstal Boy's" strengths is the naturalness with which it portrays Behan's acknowledgment of his increasing sexual duality, his attraction to both Liz and Charlie.
		Although you wouldn't necessarily know it, "Borstal Boy" is the first feature-length film for director Sheridan, who has considerable theater experience, often in combination with his brother Jim ("My Left Foot," "In the Name of the Father"), who is one of this film's executive producers.

	Borstal Boy
		A staunch republican on a bombing mission, young Brendan (portrayed by American Shawn Hatosy) initially rejects all attempts to reach him by the relatively benign Governor (Michael York) and especially a British sailor convicted of theft (Danny Dyer).
		He also finds himself entranced by the Governor's daughter (Eva Birthistle), a free-thinking artist who encourages him to explore his creative side, something which will eventually result in a short but brilliant career as an author and playwright (though this is not part of the actual film).
		Though unlikely to inspire wide admiration, it is very much the kind of medium-budget film which will find extensive distribution via television, which may, in the final analysis, be its most natural home despite the formerly fearsome reputation of this particular author and tale in Irish literary culture.
