As of 30.12.2010 - data obtained from the Department of Statistics of the Ministry of Justice.
It needs to be noted here that as regards educational care proceedings, placement of a juvenile person in a
youth care centre amounted to 3.6% of all educational care measures applied to juveniles in 2009, while in a
youth sociotherapy centre - 2.4%. In most cases non-isolating measures were adjudicated, such as reprimand
(31.7%), probation officer’s supervision (30.4%), parent or counselor supervision (10.9%).

Due to the fact of no visits to certain establishments in 2010, the figure does not take into account: Juvenile
shelters, centres for foreigners applying for refugee status or asylum (all 4 were visited in 2009) and rooms for
detained persons within Border Guard organizational units.
