Child detainees seem to be an afterthought, if they are considered at all, by many governments responding to the Covid-19 crisis. Yet data shows the virus is spreading rapidly through closed facilities, including jails and prisons.
On any given day, hundreds of thousands of children are detained in justice systems worldwide, and that as many as a million children are held in police custody each year.
Access in many of these facilities to water, sanitation, and basic medical services is often poor. In many countries, prisons are severely overcrowded.
Children should never be detained unless all other options have been exhausted. And the threat of Covid-19 makes their release all the more urgent.
