STOCKHOLM, Sept. 28 -- Sweden is set to build special prison wards for young offenders in a bid to curb organized crime, the government said on Thursday. The wards will be in place by 2026 and tailored to offenders aged 15 to 17, Minister for Justice Gunnar Strommer told business newspaper Dagens Industri (DI). Currently, offenders who are too young to be imprisoned are sent to residential homes run by the Swedish National Board of Institutional Care (SiS), alongside children with other psychosocial problems such as drug abuse.
