| Subject: Institutionalized statist child abuse: Children are locked alone in OZschwitz jail cells for 23 hours a day Wed Oct 26, 2016 8:51 pm | |
| Children are locked alone in NSW jail cells for 23 hours a day and spend their one hour of "recreation" wearing handcuffs, according to leaked documents which reveal lengthy confinements of teenage boys approved by senior levels of Juvenile Justice.
The Government called a Royal Commission into youth detention in the NT based on a one sided TV news report, according to the former PM. Courtesy 2GB.
But Corrections Minister David Elliott told Parliament last month "there is no provision or practice of isolation of young people in custody".
"This is institutional child abuse," UNSW criminology professor Chris Cunneen said. "Twenty-two, 23 hours a day, that amounts to solitary confinement."
