Very rarely was anyone under 17 sent to Borstal, Though i have known odd uns at 16 n 15 but no younger n that. Can remember a lad of 12 i think it was from gateshead who got life fer stabbing a copper, he was put in approved school first n then moved to borstal as he got older think that was 17.

Just had a look on the Web it seems Borstal was for youths between 16 and 21 Cashy, were abolished, in 1982 and replaced with youth detention centres

Thats inaccurate there were detention centres in the 60s, I know loads that went to Buckley Hall near Rochdale, n also detention was a much shorter term 3 months, Borstal was 6 month to 2 Years. So they never replaced em, they were all that were left when they scrapped Borstals.;)

I was mearley on about Borstal Cashy, I know there were detention centres as well, but as you said earlier they were different, and for kids of different ages

Lads who went to Borstal back in the day used to have a blue dot tattoo on one cheek,(face)

Think it's known as the' Borstal Spot'.
