Introduction
Australia's treatment of Indigenous youth in the juvenile justice system has been widely criticized for its poor adherence to relevant UN conventions and human rights principles. One of the key international conventions that Australia has failed to uphold in its treatment of Indigenous youth is the Convention on the Rights of the Child (CRC). According to the Article 37 of the CRC states that the detention of a child should be used as a measure of last resort and for the shortest appropriate period of time. However, Indigenous youth are disproportionately represented in detention in Australia and often face prolonged periods of detention. At the national level, the Royal Commission into Aboriginal Deaths in Custody (1991) recommended that the overrepresentation of Indigenous youth in the criminal justice system be addressed, yet Indigenous youth continue to be overrepresented in detention today.
Case Summary
With reference, “Inside a Maximum-Security Police Watch House Where Children Are Locked Up" is a case summary of a Four Corners episode that aired on the Australian Broadcasting Corporation (ABC) in 2020. The episode focuses on the treatment of Indigenous youth in the Don Dale Youth Detention Center in the Northern Territory, Australia. The episode features footage from inside the detention center, showing children as young as 10 being held in conditions of extreme isolation and subjected to physical and psychological abuse. The footage also shows children being stripped naked, tear-gasses, and held in solitary confinement for extended periods of time. The episode also includes interviews with former staff members, who describe the culture of abuse and neglect within the detention center. They also describe the systemic failures that allowed the abuse to occur, including a lack of oversight, training, and support for staff.
The episode sparked widespread outrage and urged for an official investigation into the treatment of Indigenous youth in detention centers. Following the airing of the episode, Australian government developed Royal Commission into the Protection and Detention of Children in the Northern Territory, which found that the treatment of Indigenous youth in detention centers was in breach of international human rights standards. The report recommends a complete overhaul of the youth justice system in the Northern Territory and the closure of the Don Dale detention center. In summary, "Inside a Maximum Security Police Watch House Where Children Are Locked Up" is a case summary of a Four Corners episode that exposed the abuse and neglect of Indigenous youth in the Don Dale Youth Detention Center in the Northern Territory, Australia. The episode led to an official investigation and recommendations for significant changes to the youth justice system in the Northern Territory.
