How should young offenders be rehabilitated?

Activities including beekeeping and basketball are all part of a Spanish initiative designed to reduce re-offending amongst young inmates.

It's far removed from what happens at most young offenders' institutions in Britain.

So what can be learnt from the work being done in Spain?

Victoria Derbyshire spoke to Ann Oakes-Odger MBE, founder of KnifeCrimes.Org, her son Westley was stabbed to death, Nathaniel Peat, who works for an organisation called Safety Box which helps young people who are at risk of offending and those that have been in young offender institutions, Akin Kuseju, a former inmate at Feltham where he served two years and Noel Williams, who was in the prison system from the age of 11 until he was 20.
