Despite the Convention on the Rights of the Child, some adolescents are still detained in adult prisons in Europe. Little is known about their health status. This cross-sectional study of 67 teenagers detained in an adult prison in Switzerland shows that morbidity in this group is high.
Conclusion:
These results highlight the need for developmentally appropriate health services for teenagers in adult prisons. The long-term implications of detention of adolescents in adult detention facilities also need to be discussed.
