Medomsley Detention Centre was open between the 1960s and 1980s and for a long time operated a 'short sharp shock' regime for young males aged between 17 and 21.

Many of those detained had never been in custody before.

Some arrived having committed their first minor offence - offences which these days probably would not even go to court.

Those young males who entered the detention centre were subjected to a systemic regime of physical and sexual abuse perpetrated by officers employed at the centre.

Leslie Johnson was also jailed in 2003 for sexual offences.
