"Advocates say that at least 20,000 offenders below age 18 are behind bars in the Philippines, many of them maltreated and sharing cellblocks with adults. From 1995 to 2000, up to 28 minors a day were put in jail on average in the Philippines, according to Unicef. Among inmates on death row here, child advocates say, 18 were minors when the crimes were committed, although their ages are in dispute."
