Episode Details

Australias youth justice system is under scrutiny as a federal Senate inquiry begins public hearings. The system, which locks up children as young as ten, is criticized for its harsh treatment of young offenders, including the use of spit hoods and blocking inspectors from detention centers. A fifteen-year-old girls experience in Bimberi Youth Justice Centre, where she endures long hours in a cell and struggles with endometriosis pain without proper care, highlights the systems failures. Deaf teens and those from remote communities also face discrimination and lack of support. The call for change is growing, with young voices pleading for care over cages and an end to the incarceration of innocence.
