The Singapore Boys' Home, located in Jurong West, is a juvenile detention centre run by the Ministry of Social and Family Development.
In 2016, 26 youths from the home sparked a six-hour standoff with the police when they barricaded themselves in their rooms, destroyed and vandalised property after their plan to escape failed.
