Guards at a children’s prison run by G4S are alleged to have routinely falsified documents in order to prevent the company being fined for “losing control” of the young people in their care...The allegations of abuse, now being investigated by police, include children being slapped in the head and using restraint tactics against STC rules, including pressing on a child’s windpipe causing him to complain that he could not breathe. There is footage of staff talking openly about falsifying records of violent incidents. Under STC rules, if more than two young people are involved in a fight, it is classified as the guards losing control of the centre. G4S incur heavy financial penalties if such incidents are recorded. Footage shows a guard saying: “If we have an incident with four kids, it will get split up into two separate incidents, so they – G4S – don’t get fined.
