A growing number of cases have been identified where unaccompanied children, many of whom appear to be trafficked, have been sent to HMP Elmley, Kent, and placed among foreign adult prisoners. According to the most recent inspection of Elmley, the block where foreign nationals are held also houses sex offenders.
Wait, am I understanding correctly? They’re imprisoning children for commiting no crime? That seems… pretty barbaric.
Oh no no no, they’re not just putting these kids in jail. They’re putting the kids in jail with sex offenders.
