From approved school he graduated through detention centre to borstal, finally winding up in prison. |
When someone informed on him he was charged with handling stolen goods and sentenced to one year in borstal. |
He was involved in crime from an early age, being sent to approved schools and borstal before ending up prison. |
This film almost certainly paints a truer picture of day-to-day borstal life than the earlier film's rosily optimistic outlook. |
The governor of a borstal institution tries to reform a group of juvenile delinquents through sympathy rather than punishment. |
He would have remained a borstal boy with a grudge against society who would probably have ended up in prison for a single sadistic killing. |
