The Swedish Prison and Probation Service also writes that it is not equipped to accept 13- and 14-year-olds.

How the government will respond to the Prison and Probation Service’s views remains to be seen.
They will not give a single fuck. They had basically every public sector union and other organisations saying “maybe we should not target children as a means to deport families”, and they did not give a shit. The want to see children of a darker shade in prison and nothing will stop them.
