There is high demand for teacher positions in youth prisons, with an average of 100 to 150 applicants for each of the approximately 25 jobs to be filled this year in schools for children and young people. Many applicants feel they can influence and change the direction of someone who has gone astray in life, according to rector Åke Svensson. This fall, some middle school children as young as 13 could attend school in prisons as convicted inmates if the government's proposal passes.
