a gambling rate red regulator which is relatively feeble it is in bed with the gambling industry which isn't in the slightest degree interested in the prevention of gambling harm and there's the rub britain's one of the few countries in the developed world that actually allows children to gamble and this in places like this don't actually let us film inside but even kids are allowed to play on the arcade machines in there for the jackpot of up to five pounds johns just eighteen and has already been gambling for four years first scratch cards then the lottery now online poker gets it's a win. loss it. comes to killing all together. it. makes a grand way to get money for women's clothes shave back in syria. go read the system every. minute every song. like ronald john turned to

crime to pay for his addiction selling drugs and stealing his only income now is unemployment welfare but as soon as he gets it it disappears like money will be way . diminishes when you when you get this good feeling they will use it again to make the money back a never making money. kind of a scam. the thing you've got a problem if you sit here. yeah definitely. how serious. is his problem that countless thousands in britain don't and when it comes to gambling there's only ever one winner either bennett party london the us is the only country in the world that treats young offenders as adults jailing them for life without parole that's what

a study conditions treatment and abuse they face while behind bars his lawyers will report this is exactly what causes the convicts who do get released to become stuck in a cycle of reaffirming. authorities in western pennsylvania have charged eleven year old jordan brown as an adult the boys will have won a trial together in adult court the length of his sentence is also the one that is a life they're not old enough to drive drink or vote but in america kids as young as seven years old can be tried as adults when you hold a youth icon of all the same manner and passion in which you hold an adult that's just not right and it's not there michael can knows what it's like to be a kid locked up in an adult prison you never know what one of my daughters and i do to you so you do be fair and i. was going to happen to me he was locked up for the first time when he was twelve years old here at oak hill juvenile correctional facility ok it was in that wasn't and neither was it designed so rehabilitation was

after punishment you know having barwise around again and used. a life that like most kids that serve time as a juvenile in the u.s. he got into trouble again at seventeen he was charged with armed robbery as an adult he says for a kid being in an adult prison is a constant struggle to survive they know why it is we come off the worst you know to. you know to just. sort of pull you when in reality trying to get a free rabbit you pfizer section where you know if they come out you know if someone's. person he was spared from sexual abuse many kids aren't so lucky in fact one in five victims of sexual violence in jails and prisons are under the age of eighteen years and all facilities are thirty six times more likely to commit suicide than those in the juvenile system on any given day in america ten thousand children are held in adult jails and prisons most of them have never been convicted

of a crime and kids are fair game for solitary confinement camps as for five months he spent twenty three and a half hours per day locked up alone. crazy me. just i want someone to say we're not going to do for the critics land the practice of putting kids in adult jails as cruel and unusual punishment or less capable of understanding the consequences of their behavior their development is incomplete and that's why the supreme court struck down the death penalty for juveniles in two thousand and five but today the united states is the only country that sentences kids to life without parole it was viewed as a substitute for the ultimate penalty there are now twenty five hundred inmates that were sentenced to die in jail as children this is the. american phenomenon in which we tend to believe the harsher the penalties the greater the public safety

payoff kids should instead be rehabilitated says that's the focus on washington d.c. as a newly opened new beginnings there walking into a classroom at new beginnings is much different from walking into a classroom at other juvenile detention facilities that this is considered to be a model facility it's a system based on rewards rather than punishment and experts say that this system is much more effective every one dollar taking you to become productive members of society but unfortunately places like this in the u.s. are rare here kids are given a second chance but in most prisons throughout the country remain america's forgotten children hope for the future god. in washington liz wahl r.t. . and let's now take a look at some other stories from around the world this hour according to the latest figures at least one hundred thirty five people have been buried by an avalanche that has a pakistani military base on the himalayan glass yet no survivors have the fallen
