Juvi:
In juvenile detention centers across the United States, one in eight detained children experience abuse in any given year—12 percent of all kids in juvenile detention. Eighty percent of them are victimized by a member of the facility's staff. "In detention facilities, there are extreme power differentials between staff and detainees, and very little oversight," [anti-prison rape activist Lovisa] Stannow says. "When people have unchecked power, bad things happen. When predators have unchecked power, horrendous things happen."
