被指對少年犯用私刑、冷待性侵事件 懲教：全無事實根據
After it was revealed that a correctional officer had used a wooden stick to poke a juvenile offender in the anus, causing an anal tear and rectal perforation, several people who had served sentences at Pik Uk wrote on social media alleging that “numerous incidents of abuse and sexual assault” at Pik Uk Correctional Institution remained unknown to the public.
Wong Yat-chin, convener of Cin Yin Hok Si Zing, said there was a room at the institution specifically used for assaults and without closed-circuit television. He said juvenile offenders in the room were required to walk while squatting or were violently attacked by staff. He also said he had learned that a 15-year-old juvenile offender had been raped by another juvenile offender, but “it was not until he kept passing blood and was sent to hospital that correctional staff reported the matter to the police”.
Chan Chi-sum, secretary-general of Cin Yin Hok Si Zing, disclosed that he had once been summoned to the duty officer’s office over his hairstyle and was asked to choose a ruler to be used as an “instrument of punishment”. After he refused to comply, he was ordered to squat for about 45 minutes, during which he was verbally abused, including being told: “I won’t hit you today, but next time I definitely will hit you.”
懲教職員以木棍捅少年犯肛門，導致事主肛門撕裂及直腸穿孔一事被揭發後，多名曾在壁屋服刑人士在社交媒體撰文，控訴壁屋懲教所內仍有「諸多濫暴與性侵事件」不被大眾所知。
前賢學思政召集人王逸戰指，院所內有一個專門用於施暴、沒有閉路電視的房間，房內的少年犯會被要求蹲著行路或被職員以暴力襲擊；他又指曾得悉一名15歲少年犯被另一少年犯強姦，但「直到他不斷屙血送醫，懲教職員才報警處理」。
前賢學思政秘書長陳枳森則透露，自己曾因髮型問題被召到值日主任辦公室，並被要求選間尺作「刑具」；他拒服從後被命令蹲著約45分鐘，期間遭受辱罵，包括「今日唔抓（打）你，下次一定抓（打）你」。

懲教署︱鍾翰林指太平紳士甚少跟進投訴 有職員指越級投訴是「唔畀臉」
An 18-year-old remanded detainee at Pik Uk Correctional Institution was allegedly assaulted last December by five people who used wooden sticks to injure his anus, causing an anal tear and rectal injuries. The five suspects arrested in connection with the case include a 33-year-old correctional officer. They were charged with one count of wounding with intent, and the case will return to court on April 22. Chung Hon-lam, former convener of Studentlocalism, previously shared his experience in custody on social media.

露宿者小欖囚室衣服纏頸亡 陪審團一致裁自殺 倡懲教勿以閉路電視代替親身巡視
Sham Shui Po homeless man Lai Man-sap, a Vietnamese national, was remanded at Siu Lam Psychiatric Centre in 2020 in connection with possession of dangerous drugs. During his detention, he wrapped a pair of trousers around his neck in a protective cell. His condition deteriorated sharply after he was taken to hospital for emergency treatment, and he was eventually certified dead. The Coroner’s Court continued the inquest today (17th). After Coroner Chau Chi-wai gave directions in the morning, the jury retired for about two hours and unanimously concluded that the deceased had died by suicide. The jury recommended that the Correctional Services Department increase the number of correctional officers to share Siu Lam’s daily workload. It also recommended that checks on people in custody at intervals of no more than 15 minutes be strictly enforced, and that CCTV observation not be used as a substitute for in-person checks.

被指阻撓鄒家成寄信申訴無法收書 懲教：無事實根據
The National Security Department on Tuesday (24th) arrested Chow Ka-shing, who is remanded in custody in the primary election case involving 47 people, and two lawyers, alleging that they took unauthorised items out of a prison. Chow’s social media said that, because Correctional Services had barred him from receiving books, he intended to write to The Ombudsman to complain, but his letters of complaint were often unable to be delivered because of obstruction by correctional officers. He therefore changed to sending the letters through a lawyer. The Correctional Services Department told the media that the allegations were completely unfounded and had no factual basis, stressing that any person in custody who is dissatisfied with the treatment at an institution or has any complaint about their personal rights may lodge a complaint through multiple channels.
國安處於周二（24日）拘捕因初選47人案還柙的鄒家成及兩名律師，指他們將未經授權的物品攜離監獄。鄒的社交媒體指，因他被懲教禁止收取書籍，有意寫信向申訴專員公處投訴，投訴信件卻經常在懲教人員阻撓下無法送達，於是改透過律師寄出信件。懲教署回應傳媒指，有關指控純屬子虛烏有，並無事實根據，強調任何在囚人士如對院所待遇感到不滿，或就個人權益有任何投訴，可透過多個渠道作出投訴。

巴基斯坦籍人士遣返途中失知覺死亡 入境處：死因無可疑
The Immigration Department said recently that a Pakistani national was found to have suddenly lost consciousness during a flight to Pakistan for deportation. After the flight made an emergency landing, he was taken to hospital and was subsequently certified dead. The cause of death was not suspicious. In response to an inquiry from Initium Media, the Immigration Department said the man had previously filed a non-refoulement claim, which was not established, and that his application for judicial review to the High Court had also been rejected. At the time of his deportation, he was appealing to the Court of Final Appeal, and the case was still pending. The department also said he had been detained at Tai Tam Gap Correctional Institution before being deported and had been provided with prescription medication. His overall physical condition during detention was satisfactory. On the day of deportation, he did not report feeling unwell or request to take any medication. Medical staff observed his physical condition twice after take-off and found it normal, until he was found to have suddenly lost consciousness nearly 1.5 hours after take-off. The department reiterated that, based on the information provided by the authorities, the cause of death was not suspicious.

Inmates may currently receive books from relatives and friends each month, subject to prior review by correctional officers. Writer PazuPazu Kong wrote recently that two weeks earlier he had wanted to give his incarcerated friend a book titled *Education* by German writer Schwanitz, but the Correctional Services Department rejected it, saying it contained nudity.

太平紳士巡院所收投訴數字創歷史新低 年報首次採用「黑暴」一詞
The Administration Wing has published the latest annual report on Justice of the Peace inspections. The number of complaints received by Justice of the Peace during visits to designated institutions last year fell by more than half from 108 in 2021 to just 42, the lowest figure on record since the first inspection report was published in 1999. The 20 more serious complaints, involving issues including staff misconduct, medical care and food supplies, were referred to the Correctional Services Complaints Investigation Unit. Eleven could not be traced and nine could not be substantiated. Justice of the Peace satisfaction with correctional facilities remained at 100%. The report specifically quoted some Justice of the Peace as praising the facilities of “smart prisons”. For the first time, the annual report also used the term “black violence” to describe people imprisoned in connection with the anti-extradition bill protests, and quoted Justice of the Peace as affirming the Correctional Services Department’s work on national education, psychological support and values reorientation.
行政署發表最新一份太平紳士巡視年報，去年太平紳士在巡視各指定院所期間接到的投訴，較2021年大跌超過一半，由108宗下跌至只得42宗；亦是1999年首份巡視年報以來，有紀錄以來的新低。較嚴重的20宗投訴，涉職員行為不當、醫療和食物供應等問題，轉介懲教投訴調查組，結果有11宗無法追查，9宗無法證實。太平紳士對懲教設施的滿意度，繼續是100%。年報特別引述部分太平紳士對「智慧監獄」設施表示讚賞；太平紳士年報亦首次採用「黑暴」形容因反修例事件入獄的人士，年報引述太平紳士肯定懲教的國民教育、心理及價值觀重整工作。
