More investigations from Channel 4's multi-award-winning international current affairs series, from 2017
Last year, leaked footage showing the mistreatment of prisoners in a juvenile detention centre in Australia caused uproar; Prime Minister Malcolm Turnbull launched a public inquiry in response to the clips, which showed teenagers being stripped, beaten and tear-gassed. Sophie Morgan and the Unreported World team travel to the Northern Territory, home to the centre where the footage was filmed, and hear a first-hand account of conditions there from one of the boys caught up in the scandal.
They also report on another troubling issue: the disproportionate imprisonment of Aboriginal people. A quarter of the Northern Territory’s population is Aboriginal – but in its juvenile detention facilities, that figure is 94 per cent.
