The first Borstal institution was opened in 1908 at Borstal, a village in Kent. There are now twelve training Borstals. Boys are admitted from the age of sixteen to twenty-three. The maximum sentence is three years, but this may be extended following an attempted escape, giving an over-all age-group of sixteen to twenty-six. In 1946 over two thousand youths were sentenced to Borstal detention.
