Her sister was also detained at Fort Augusta, but in a separate dorm. Most girls were there for uncontrollable behaviour.

She had been held at Stony Hill, Horizon, and Armadale. She had been at Fort Augusta since August 2009. The week before the visit of the Special Rapporteur she had had an argument with another girl and was moved to the isolation dorm, where she was locked down for a week. She had not been beaten while at Fort Augusta, but still felt that the treatment at Armadale had been better. She reported her experience of the fire at Armadale in May 2009. 73. N. S., aged 14, had been at Fort Augusta since July 2009. The week before the visit of the Special Rapporteur, she had thrown her porridge away and had been slapped in the back by a guard, and told to behave by the school teacher. She fought constantly with the officers, who searched for marijuana. The officers used pepper spray and batons to control the detainees. She wished the detainees were not treated like pigs and complained about the beatings. 74. S.D., aged 16, had been detained in Fort Augusta for three years and six months, since she was 14, for refusing to obey her parents. Before that, she had stayed with strangers in a “comforting home” in Kingston and in a place of safety for three months, from which she ran away. Her father had taken her back to the place of safety. She was involved in a riot there, for which the management called the police. She got into a fight with the police and was beaten.

She experienced some swellings and was taken to see the doctor, who gave her painkillers. Afterwards, she was taken to the punishment cell at the back of the dormitory, which was infested with rats and insects and was full of faeces. After the riot the punishment cells were packed with girls. The girls were permanently locked down and could only go out to catch water during two months. She understood that children had to be punished but thought that they were excessively punished at Fort Augusta and that they had no rights. Additionally, she felt that the officers were treating the girls as if they were adults without understanding the special needs of children. Her mother, with whom she was going to live with in a month, would visit her. She could also attend school and go to the computer lab. She added that the adult inmates did not want the juveniles around and one of them had tried to set her on fire on one occasion. She had splashed kerosene on her and then threw a burning tissue at her. The juveniles also fought among each other. The food was of poor quality; it was not properly cooked and it made her sick. At home, her now deceased father had regularly beaten her with a board, a water hose or other tools. The only thing she had to remember him were the scars on her face from the beatings. 75.
