Debate continues over Sis homes in Sweden as government announces new investigation

The state-run Sis homes have sparked significant debate in criminal justice discussions in recent years, particularly following multiple high-profile escapes. On Monday, a report will be presented regarding expanded powers at Sis homes and LVM homes. The government stated that the purpose of the investigation is to create better conditions for a safe and secure environment in the special youth homes.

Simultaneously, another investigation is underway, led by prosecutor Lise Tamm, which aims to conduct a comprehensive review of the entire state child and youth care system and explore alternative models for its future. This report is expected to be released in 2025.
