To this end, the interest of the child needs to be protected by law, government, parents and the society at large. It sometimes happen however that the role of protecting the child may be neglected by one or all of the stakeholders which further leads to the child coming in conflict with the law, hence the phrase “juvenile delinquent”. These delinquents are usually made to face designated laws by being charged to juvenile courts, tried and sometimes remanded in homes such as the borstal homes. The concern of this study is to unearth the dynamics involved in running the affairs of the juvenile justice system in Nigeria with reference to the Borstal Institutions and Remand Centres Act. This study examines the history, structure as well as practice and procedure of the justice system in Nigeria; juvenile and delinquencies, as well as juvenile justice system in Nigeria through the mirror of stakeholders in the juvenile justice system in Nigeria. It also discusses the full appraisal of the Borstal Institutions and Remand Centres Act; history of juvenile correctional institutions in Nigeria and an example from one of the Borstal Homes in Nigeria today. In order to get an international view point on juvenile justice, Borstal institutions in Nigeria were considered viz-a-viz universal standards and principles in various international conventions serving the interest of the child. There is also an attempt to comparatively analyse the Borstal institutions in Nigeria and selected jurisdictions (Ghana and United States of America) which further helped to identify the challenges bedevilling the Nigerian system with a view to proffering credible recommendations. In all, finding improvements to juvenile justice administration in Nigeria is paramount in this study.
