Eighty percent of abuse cases involved a member of the prison staff, and in nearly all those cases, the alleged offenders were women even though less than half the staffs in US juvenile prisons are women said the first National Survey of Youth in Custody report, which was published Thursday. In more than a third of cases where a member of prison staff abused a youngster, force was used or the detainee was threatened, the survey showed, AFP reported. Boys, who make up the majority of young prison inmates in the United States, were more likely than girls to report unwanted sexual activity with a member of prison staff. Some 10.8 percent of the boys surveyed said they had been sexually abused by prison staff compared with less than five percent of girls. Nearly 9,200 young inmates in 195 large state or privately-owned prisons were interviewed for the survey between June 2008 and April last year. The youngest of the inmates was 12, the oldest 24, and only a third of the young convicts were older than 18, a statistician at the Department of Justice told AFP. SG/MMN |
