The chief inspector of prisons was 'deeply shocked' by the findings, which revealed the 'incredibly vulnerable' teenage prisoner had been restrained and had her clothes removed by 'multiple men' on two occasions.
An 'incredibly vulnerable' girl held in a young offenders' institution was pinned down and forcibly stripped by 'multiple' male prison guards, according to a watchdog. The teenager had been restrained and had her clothes removed on two occasions at YOI Wetherby in West Yorkshire, which holds some of the most 'challenging' children in the country.
But the report added the institution had 'no excuse' not to have female officers present, given how 'predictable the behaviour of this particular girl was'. 'This is simply not acceptable,' it added. Over the past 12 months, 24 children were strip-searched, with 12 of those taking place while they were being restrained at the prison, which holds 165 children.
