How abuse was 'ignored' at a detention centre

From the creator

An investigation has found decades of abuse of thousands of young men by staff at a detention centre in County Durham was “ignored and dismissed” by the prison service, police and the Home Office. The Prisons and Probation Ombudsman has issued a report into how physical and sexual violence was allowed to continue at the Medomsley Detention Centre from 1961 to 1987. Sky's correspondent Greg Milam looks at how the abuse at Medomsley went “unchallenged” for the entire 26 years of its operation. #prisons #abuse #skynews SUBSCRIBE to our YouTube channel for more videos: http://www.youtube.com/skynews Follow us on Twitter: https://twitter.com/skynews Like us on Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/skynews Follow us on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/skynews Follow us on TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@skynews Sky News Daily podcast is available for free here: https://podfollow.com/skynewsdaily/ For more content go to http://news.sky.com and download our apps: Apple https://itunes.apple.com/gb/app/sky-news/id316391924?mt=8 Android https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.bskyb.skynews.android&hl=en_GB To enquire about licensing Sky News content, you can find more information here: https://news.sky.com/info/library-sales
