RESTRAINT OF CHILDREN IN CUSTODY DOUBLES, REPORT SAYS

The number of children in custody who are restrained has more than doubled in the last five years, according to research.

A report by the Howard League for Penal Reform on the use of restraint, solitary confinement and strip-searching in child units in England and Wales describes the practice as the "illegal, systemic physical abuse of children in prison".

The latest research also shows that children have suffered 4,350 injuries in the last five years while being restrained.
