2016 — Justice youth institution St. Maarten: baseline measurement at the Miss Lalie Center.

This baseline inspection assesses the judicial tasks and operational quality of the Miss Lalie Center (MLC) in St. Maarten, a youth rehabillitation facility that began operations in December 2014. The report identifies significant challenges, including inadequate educational and activity programs, understaffing, and lack of resources, which compromise the rights of detained youth. Despite these issues, the commitment of staff has kept the institution functioning. Key recommendations include enhancing educational offerings, improving internal security, and addressing organizational shortcomings to ensure the MLC meets national and international standards.
