A/HRC/16/52/Add.3 41. P.F., aged 17, had no family and had spent most of her life in children’s homes and places of safety. In May 2006, she arrived at Horizon and should have been released in May 2009, but nobody wanted to take her. She hoped to find a foster family or someone else to take her before she reached the age of 18, at which age she would have to be released and would end up on the streets. She was used to living alone and preferred that to sharing a cell with T.M. She had been beaten with iron sticks and belts. She felt like a dog. She had been previously detained at Armadale, where the conditions were better than at Horizon. 42. A detainee, aged 37, British citizen, had been arrested at the airport for smuggling drugs. She had been serving her sentence at Fort Augusta between 12 June 2009 and 23 January 2010, and had been transferred to Horizon to await her deportation to the United Kingdom. She complained about the quality of the food and the lack of activities. She had to spend 20 hours a day in her cell which was equipped with a toilet and water. She was not allowed to do exercise outside in the fresh air. She complained that the TV was on all the time, with loud volume, but that there was no remote to stop it. Juveniles Section (boys) 43. J.W., aged 17, had been detained at the remand centre for approximately one year. He had been arrested on 3 December 2008 and was taken to Half Way Tree Police Station, where he was detained for approximately five months. He had been forced to rob somebody by three men at gunpoint. He was caught by private security officers, who had hit him on the back. The police then took him to Half Way Tree Police Station. On the way to the station the police officers said that they would kill him and throw his body away. At the police station, he tried to explain that he had been forced to rob the person, but the police officers punched, kicked and hit him with batons in order to make him confess. He received two electric shocks with a device that looked like a pistol emitting electricity. He was sitting with his hands cuffed behind his back and his feet tied to the chair and could feel the electricity throughout his body. He saw twinkling stars, just like when receiving a blow. A police officer hit him in the face and told him not to faint. His hand was placed on the horizontal part of the grill and an officer slammed down an iron bar on it. The name of one of the police officers was Officer Rose. The warders at the remand centre also beat the inmates. When the warders were in a bad mood, they took it out on the detainees and abused them. He had been beaten a number of times by different warders. In January 2009, he had been beaten on the head by Officer Shango for not hurrying up when leaving the washing facilities; he bore a 5-6 cm. long scar on his scalp. The second scar on his head (3 cm.) was caused by Officer “Busthead”. On his right arm he was hit by Officer Hutchinson with a baton, which left a scar of 5 x 3 cm. In addition, he had a scar on his knee from falling on the floor when a warder swung his baton at him. After the unrest, the warders let out their anger on the juvenile detainees. Last time he had been beaten was the day of the disturbance. The warders tried to get the detainees out of the cells; if the detainees refused to come out, the warders would go in. Everybody at the remand centre got beaten from time to time. One could in principle complain to the Superintendent but would later be punished by the warders for complaining. He was afraid that he would also be punished by the warders for speaking to the Special Rapporteur on Torture. He did not receive any visits, and his father only came to the court hearings. No classes were held for the juveniles. He also complained that the food was infested with cockroaches. Every Thursday, the juveniles could go out and play football. A psychologist came to see him and gave him medication, but he did not take it. Often he felt like hanging himself. Maximum security sections 44. SP 7 and SP 11 were under the control of the Jamaican Defense Force. The Superintendant had no authority over these sections. The military officers in charge seemed 29
