Children in jail
Zabed Wali, Pahartali, Chittagong
Although childhood connotes happiness and innocence, many children of our country are deprived of the very basic rights, and they live through an ordeal that is devoid of an iota of bliss, so to say. The fact that many children are living in a state of incarceration highlights the miseries of our poor kids. In most of the instances, one can find a coexistence of poverty and juvenile delinquency. In other words, it is grinding poverty that impels them to break the law. In some cases, it is their helplessness in the face of the state machinery that propels them to the dark path. According to the reports, there are about four hundred kids confined in the jails, and this evinces the sheer negligence of the privileged who could help rehabilitate these children. These so-called delinquents should be freed from the jails and sent to the correction centres or to their guardians.
