Melbourne's Catholic and Anglican archbishops have condemned the Andrews
government's imprisonment of teenagers in "the harshest of adult prison
settings", warning that teen offenders' welfare and chances of
rehabilitation are at risk.
Catholic Archbishop Denis Hart and his Anglican counterpart Philip Freier have taken the "unusual step" of writing a joint letter to Mr Andrews offering to boost chaplaincy and pastoral care services to "the most vulnerable and impressionable children" in the care of the state as the youth justice crisis deepens.
