‘The supervisor comes in the evening, after the call, at 10PM and yells at us, “Yo! I will swear about your family if you don’t answer”. And if I am sleeping and I cannot answer him, he swears my family! Some of us have reports filled because of that. You can imagine, some of us have dead parents, or sick, you can imagine that we don’t take it too well. We respond to their swearing, and they are too blame, because they incite us, they start us, but in the end the blame falls on us. I have 12 reports. And I don’t think I have made mistakes for all of them. They cut my right to visitations, to the food from here, I have also been put in isolation’. (M/17/1:EEG) ‘We are some kind of a jungle for them, where they can play, some kind of tiny animals for them’. (M/16/1:EEG) There were claims about police corruption, and children explained how the police would abuse their position of authority to take bribes, force confessions, and fake evidence to get a case closed. ‘The police man prevented me from eating food for 3 days, he was giving me water only and in the 4th day I confirmed my charge just to eat. The police man said if I confirmed the charge, I will leave the centre and go back home. Not sure why he gave me a false information. I confirmed the charge to go home and now am here since 2 weeks’. (M/1215/6:APG) Children also reported that the other children would do ‘crazy things’ to attract assistance and protest against conditions, including self-harm, which was common. Instances of sexual abuse between those in detention were also reported. ‘They were very desperate. Some of them tried to commit suicide and the whole time they talked and looked at each other badly’. (M/14-21/1:EEG) ‘This is the biggest problem that is happening here, in the penitentiary. The homosexuality. The first time it happens to do it against their will, afterwards they do it out of pleasure’. (M/16/1:EEG) ‘And afterwards for cigarettes’. (M/17/1:EEG) 97
