NO PLACE FOR CHILDREN - SOLITARY CONFINEMENT 
 
EVIL CHILDREN

   Human Rights Watch and Amnesty International report that more than 2,000 inmates are currently serving life without parole in the United States for crimes committed when they were juveniles; in the rest of the world, there are only 12 juveniles serving the same sentence, according to figures reported to the UN Convention on the Rights of the Child.
Human Rights Watch and the ACLU estimate that in 2011, more than 95,000 young people under age 18 were held in prisons and jails. A significant number of these facilities use solitary confinement, for days, weeks, months, or even years, to punish, protect, house, or treat some of the young people held there.
The Juvenile Justice and Delinquency Prevention Act (JJDPA), which was first passed in 1974 and most recently reauthorized in 2002, provides grants to States for juvenile crime prevention and intervention programs. To be eligible for these funds, States must comply with four “core protections” for youth in the justice system, including jail removal and sight and sound separation to protect children from contact with adult inmates. But because of a loophole in the law, children charged in the adult criminal system are excluded from these two protections.
Here are just 5 of the essential reasons to keep children out of adult jails and Solitary Confinement:

1. . Children have the highest suicide rate of all inmates in jails. 

2.Children who are held in adult jails are at high risk of being sexually and physically assaulted.

3. Children in adult jails are denied access to education.

4. Many children are punished before being tried.

5. Transferring children to the adult criminal system does not reduce crime.
I child who comitted a crime is coming from a traumatic situation; solitary confinement is not the right place for a child in confusion, depression; often the children and juvenile are menthally week or sick - or become so in isolation chambers. One boy, 15, said: Since two years I didn´t see the sun.
