Defence for Children International UN Rules for Protection of Juveniles PHYSICAL ENVIRONMENT AND ACCOMMODATION
The design of detention facilities and of the general physical environment should be in keeping with the rehabilitative aim of residential treatment and with the juveniles right to privacy, sensory stimuli, and leisure-time activities. Consequently all facilities should meet the requirements of human health and dignity. Food should be suitably prepared and sufficient to satisfy the standards of hygiene and health and as far as possible the religious and cultural requirements of the juveniles. Clean drinking water must also be available at any time. Every juvenile should be provided with clean bedding and sufficient sanitary installations in accordance with local and national standards. Similarly, clothing must be suitable for the climate and must not be degrading or humiliating. One specific aspect of the juvenile’s right to privacy is that they are entitled to retain their own personal effects.
