More sexual assaults at US juvenile prisons

Sexual assaults and other illicit incidents of sexual contact are reported at United States juvenile prisons at 10 times the rate of adult jails, a Government study has found.

The research found 10 reported incidents for every 2000 youths at state-run juvenile facilities.

At state-run adult prisons, it was one reported incident for every 2000 inmates, according to the study by the Justice Department.
