## Resource

Three teens aged 13 to 17 were unlawfully detained in a Queensland adult watch house, forced to endure degrading conditions including no privacy, dirty clothes, and cells with no natural light — all while hearing abuse and threats from officers. The tribunal ruled the state violated their human rights, but compensation is blocked by new legislation. Advocates warn this isn’t an isolated case — children across Queensland are routinely held in adult facilities, stripped of dignity and basic care. The system is broken, and urgent reform is needed.
