- In this article the authors present a meta-synthesis of their studies on secure institutions in Sweden and Denmark. The aim of the metasynthesis is to explore how the context of confinement shapes the possibilities for providing treatment and positive change for at-risk youth. Drawing on meta-synthesis methodology the authors extract content from nine studies published in 20 articles. We highlight three dimensions, which are a) treatment practices and behavioural regulation, b) the carceral materialities and sociomaterial practices, and c) relations. We argue that while treatment is curtailed by confinement, improvements can be made to support more successful change among at-risk youth and smooth their transition into adulthood.Artiklen præsenterer en metasyntese af ni studier om sikrede institutioner i Danmark og Sverige. Formålet med metasyntesen er at undersøge, hvordan frihedsberøvelse rammesætter behandling og forandringsarbejde med unge i udsatte positioner. Forfatterne analyserer 20 artikler fordelt på ni studier, de selv har gennemført. Analysen har fokus på tre centrale forhold; a) behandlingsarbejde og adfærdsregulering, b) materialitet og sociomaterielle praktikker, og c) relationer. Vi argumenterer for, at behandling påvirkes af frihedsberøvelse, men med forbedringer kan behandling på sikret institution bidrage til at skabe positiv forandring og sikre de unges overgang til voksenliv.

- This study focuses on the care environment of secure youth homes run by the Swedish National Board of Institutional Care, where youths up to 21 years old are placed according to law due to extensive care needs or sentences. Purpose This study examined staff members' experiences of the institutional care environment within secure youth homes. Methods Data were collected through three focus group discussions with 17 staff members at two secure youth homes. Subsequently, a thematic analysis was conducted. Results The analysis indicated two main themes: risk management and damage control in a restricted environment and compensating and reconstructing ordinariness-trying to make the best of it; each theme had three subthemes. The care environment seems to be experienced by staff as characterized by conflicting demands, thus constituting a gap between needs and what is possible to achieve-a balancing act that constitutes a constant struggle. Conclusions The staff members' constant struggle could be interpreted as conflicting moral and instrumental demands; they know what the youths need, but the environment of the secure youth homes demands the decorous behaviour of sociomaterial control practices-rather than care practices.
