Jacques Mwepu er chef for Kumla-anstalten, en af Sveriges mest sikrede klasse 1-anstalter. I et interview med Dagens Nyheter udtrykker han en personlig overbevisning om, at børn ikke hører hjemme i fængsel. Artiklens beskrivelse lyder: ’Kumla-chefen mener ikke, at børn skal sidde i fængsel.’  nnPå trods af sin holdning er Mwepu sat til at lede anstaltens børneafdeling. Dette er en ny sektion beregnet til mindreårige indsatte. Hans venner har spurgt, hvordan han kan klare dette, men Mwepu svarer: ’Mine venner undrer sig over, hvordan jeg kan gøre dette. Men jeg er den rette person.’  nnOpgaven kommer på et tidspunkt, hvor Sverige tager stilling til placeringen af unge lovovertrædere i højsikkerhedsmiljøer. Mwepus rolle indebærer at lede driften i afdelingen på trods af hans etiske betænkeligheder ved at have børn der. Artiklen blev offentliggjort den 4. marts 2026 og fremhæver spændingen mellem personlige synspunkter og professionelle pligter inden for det svenske Kriminalvæsen.
