The article discusses the issue of children in prison, particularly focusing on the Northern Territory (NT) in Australia. It highlights the image of Dylan Voller, a child who was restrained and hooded in a prison cell, which led to a royal commission into the NT youth detention system. The article criticizes the recent election victory of the Country Liberal Party (CLP) in the NT, as they plan to reinstate the use of spit hoods on children and implement other punitive measures.
