Reformatory for young offenders (7)

I believe the answer is:

borstal

(Other definitions for borstal that I've seen before include "Penal institution" , "Former establishment for offenders aged 15 to 21" , "Former reform school" , "Former youth prison" , "Formerly, prison for young offenders" .)

I've seen this clue in the Sydney Morning Herald.
