    I mean, good, given the context:

    Dogs and stun grenades are used in some YOIs to defuse conflict among 15- to 18-year-olds, the Ministry of Justice (MoJ) has said.

    Two teenagers were burned in May by a grenade, a device designed to temporarily disorient not but physically harm.

    How are stun grenades a thing before pepper spray?

    I see the argumentation relating to racism, but honestly, wouldn’t that be the same with any tool? What the institution needs to work at is to look after that it isn’t used for fun and only when it’s needed.
