Borstal, Kent
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Borstal is an ancient village near Rochester, once in Kent county, now in the Medway conurbation, England.
It is, among other things, the location of Borstal Prison, a large convict prison, once an experimental juvenile detention centre of the reformatory type. Because it was the first detention centre of its kind in the UK, the village's name became synonymous with other detention centres for youths across the country, and elsewhere.
