In the Dark: Hidden Abuses Against Detained Youths in Rio de Janeiro

Submitted by crinadmin on

Summary: The 50-page report documents routine
physical abuse, squalid living conditions and
other forms of inhumane treatment in the
state's youth detention centers. The report
finds that these abuses persist in large part
because there is no effective independent
monitoring of the state's juvenile detention
centers.
