The Andhra Pradesh Bostal Schools (Amendment) Act, 2001

The Andhra Pradesh Borstal Schools (Amendment) Act, 2001 modifies the state’s existing 1925 legislation governing the institutional detention and rehabilitation of adolescent offenders. This specific amendment renumbers Section 10-A of the original statute to streamline legal formatting and ensure administrative clarity. Applying to youthful offenders and correctional institutions across Andhra Pradesh, the broader law replaces standard prison sentences with educational and vocational training in Borstal schools. This procedural update matters because maintaining structured and clear statutes ensures efficient judicial processing and administration of corrective justice, supporting the rehabilitation of young individuals into law-abiding citizens.
