Timor-Leste considers detention facilities for children

"Ministry of Justice to set up prison for children"
Diario Nacional, 24/1/2013 
The Ministry of Justice is planning to build prison centre for children, so that they can receive proper treatment. 
“We want to build prison for children, so that they can get access to proper treatment which is different from the adult people,” Minister for Justice, Dionisio Babo Soares said. 
Babo said the referred plan had been submitted to the Council of Ministers, waiting for further discussion.
I think, and I hope I'm right, what the minister is suggesting is the establishment of a juvenile detention centre, something that is totally different to a prison.
