Four boot camps for young offenders in Qld

FOUR boot camps designed to put young offenders on the straight and narrow will be running in Queensland within six months.

Premier Campbell Newman announced on Sunday that boot camps for convicted youths will open in Townsville and Rockhampton by September, along with two other camps.

Youths will spend four weeks at the camps cooking, cleaning, doing physical activities and studying while under constant surveillance.

Mr Newman says they will be given an opportunity to turn their lives around under the guidance of mentors and their families.

"This program is designed to teach these young people about discipline, rehabilitation and respect for themselves and those around them," he said in a statement.

"We promised a fresh approach to youth justice and these boot camps are a key part of that reform.

One camp is already up and running on the Gold Coast and another camp will be opened in Kuranda, near Cairns, in April.

The four boot camps will be trialled for two years.
