Juvenile detention -- Queensland.

This report documents the findings of investigations conducted by the Office of the Queensland Ombudsman (the Office) into a series of events at the Brisbane Youth Detention Centre (BYDC) between November 2016 and February 2017. A number of separate investigations commenced as a result of complaints received from young people detained at BYDC and the referral of allegations from the Crime and Corruption Commission (CCC) throughout 2017. I have decided to prepare a report on these investigations. The events described in this report stem from a riot in Cleveland Youth Detention Centre (CYDC) in Townsville in late 2016 (the CYDC riot) and the consequential transfer of three high risk young offenders from CYDC to BYDC (CYDC young people). The events that unfolded at BYDC after the transfer of these three young people were challenging and exposed the complexity of managing high risk young people in youth detention centres. - Report introduction.
