IICSA Children in Custodial Institutions Investigation - Public Hearing 11th July 2018 - LIVE STREAM
Good morning folks and if you did manage to sit through more than an hour of yesterdays harrowing evidence, then I know just how you feel. These hearings are certainly not for the faint-hearted and the accounts given are relentlessly shocking. What is going on in the custodial units of the UK is nothing less than systemic child abuse.
For those of you who didn't tune in yesterday, we found out that MANY young children are sent to these custodial services are not there because they have been accused of any crime, just lack of funding and unfortunate circumstances is what has led many to be trapped inside these Gulags. It was also revealed that these facilities are predominantly ran by folks who have been drafted in from the MILITARY AND THE POLICE.
It is also noteworthy that my local youth detention centre, in Nottingham, has just been privatised and I doubt that will lead to any of these expensive recommendations being carried forwards. Borstal youth prison and many others will soon be privately owned prisons, ran for profit and coming under corporate protections. Therefore, these businesses will be completely unaccountable when these kind of abuses continue, which they no doubt will.
OK, so here is the link to today's public hearing.
