Confined to 'Hell': Jailed children suffer in MoBay

Jamaica Gleaner "EVERY FACE tells a story. And it is not difficult to read the lines of worry and apprehension as the children in cell block # 6 peer through the iron bars. It is obvious they have many questions to ask, but they choose only to stare - in silence.

The station log book - there is a separate one for juveniles - lists the names of the detained inmates and the offences for which they are charged: possession of firearm; shooting with intent; carnal abuse; murder; suspicion of aggravated assault; malicious destruction of property; unlawful wounding; and, breach of probation order.

Above the din at the Freeport Police Station lock-up in the tourism capital, Montego Bay, a siren goes off. 'Prisoners are off to court,' a police officer says."
