YOUTH DETENTION FACILITIES Justice’s “Principles of Educational Work in the 57 Youth Detention Facility in Königs Wusterhausen”. Response: It must be conceded that so far no regular consultations with a psychologist or an external contractual partner have been available; rather, such support is only occasioned as and when the need arises. The youth detention facility is currently negotiating a contract with a local psychotherapist who has an additional qualification as a child and youth therapist. There are plans to have this expert provide psychological support and, where necessary, to assess detainees’ need for therapy and initial psychotherapy sessions on the basis of a regular, fixed number of monthly hours. The draft Brandenburg Act on the Enforcement of Youth Detention provides that external experts (psychiatrists, psychologists) can be called in with the consent of the detainee or their primary carer. 57 In: Brandenburg Land Parliament Documents, P-RA 5/28, Annex 1 90
