Amnesty International is pushing for change of legislation following data that shows 165 under 18's have been kept in adult dention facilities for an average of 2.6 days. This is illustrative of a 166% increase of youth being kept in detention cells over the last four years. 95bFM reporter Bailley Verry spoke to Amnesty International Advocacy and Policy Manager Annaliese Johnston about the humans rights of these minors placed into detention cells.
