15 or 16-year-old females cannot normally be remanded to prisons. However, in the exceptional circumstance of being committed from a Magistrates' Crown to a Crown Court for sentence, a 15 or 16 year old female young offender would be remanded to a female prison. In such a case, allocation to a prison would be made on the basis of the individual's circumstances.
