Définition

Closed educational centres are aimed at minors who are persistent offenders and who are the subject of a judicial supervision measure or of probation. They represent an alternative to imprisonment and are always used after educational measures have failed. The term "closed" refers to the legal definition of the placement, that is, any serious violation of the centre's regulations is likely to lead to detention.
