12 percent of incarcerated juveniles sexually abused
The Justice Department reported last Thursday that 12 percent of incarcerated juveniles, or more than 3,200 young people, had been raped or sexually abused in the past year by fellow inmates or prison staff.
It seems that the somewhat 'hush' topic of rape in jail isn't so 'hush hush' anymore as, on Thursday, the Justice Department released a report revealing that according to a study, 12 percent of incarcerated juvenile inmates had been raped or sexually abused by fellow inmates or prison staff in the past year.
