Village Child Justice Committees are only operational in two Districts – Thaba Tseka and Mokhotlong.

No corporal punishment has however been the practice. Never has a child been sentenced to death. In 2012 there was an adult sentenced to death. The last death sentence which was executed was in 1993. The CPW Act at sections 161 (1) & (3) provides that no sentence of life imprisonment or death may be imposed on a child and no corporal punishment or cruel or degrading punishment may be prescribed.

Part XVIII on sentencing, specifically section157 says that any sentence involving a residential element must be employed as last resort, boys to be kept separate from girls, and be for shortest time possible.
