Your function was what at this facility

00:00:04.128 --> 00:00:05.088

Standard stuff

00:00:06.047 --> 00:00:10.134

Keep the boys in line make sure they got to classes on time

00:00:10.885 --> 00:00:13.387

Keep an eye out for trouble put them down for the night

00:00:14.472 --> 00:00:18.225

As guards were you and Mr Nokes allowed to use force to

00:00:18.392 --> 00:00:20.394

as you put it keep the boys in line

00:00:20.978 --> 00:00:22.098

What what do you mean force

00:00:23.147 --> 00:00:24.408

Were you allowed to hit them

00:00:26.275 --> 00:00:27.275

Of course not

00:00:27.485 --> 00:00:31.028

Were any of the boys hit by any of the guards any time at the Wilkinson home

00:00:32.823 --> 00:00:35.785

I'm sure something like that may have happened It was a

00:00:36.452 --> 00:00:39.789

big place but it wasn't the common practice

00:00:39.956 --> 00:00:41.029

Let's narrow the place down

00:00:41.457 --> 00:00:44.835

Did you or Mr Nokes ever hit any of the boys under your care

00:00:45.024 --> 00:00:47.463

at the Wilkinson Home for Boys

00:00:55.221 --> 00:00:57.682

Would you like me to repeat the question

00:00:57.089 --> 00:00:58.089

No

00:01:00.893 --> 00:01:03.285

Then answer it please And remember you're under oath

00:01:04.002 --> 00:01:07.149

A few of the boys who we considered to be discipline problems

00:01:07.316 --> 00:01:09.318

were hit on occasion

00:01:09.527 --> 00:01:11.001

And how were they hit

00:01:11.236 --> 00:01:13.998

I don't know what you mean A fist

00:01:13.571 --> 00:01:17.001

Open hand Kick Baton maybe

00:01:18.999 --> 00:01:21.083

Depends on what the situation called for Who determined that situation

00:01:22.372 --> 00:01:23.372

The guard on the scene

00:01:23.999 --> 00:01:26.173

That's a lot of power to have over a boy isn't it

00:01:26.501 --> 00:01:30.994

It came with the job sir Did torture come with the job

00:01:39.389 --> 00:01:41.999

Boys were tortured weren't they Mr Ferguson

00:01:41.001 --> 00:01:42.934

Define torture

00:01:45.007 --> 00:01:46.688

Well let's define torture

00:01:49.149 --> 00:01:50.191

Cigarette burning

00:01:51.735 --> 00:01:52.735

random beatings

00:01:54.999 --> 00:01:57.782

solitary confinement with no food and no light

00:01:59.492 --> 00:02:02.999

Say that took place On occasion

00:02:03.455 --> 00:02:06.124

Who tortured them Guards

00:02:06.333 --> 00:02:07.334

Which guards

00:02:09.001 --> 00:02:11.999

I can't remember all of them

00:00:01.000 --> 00:00:03.997

وماذا كانت مهامك في إصلاحية الأحداث هذه

00:00:04.171 --> 00:00:07.213

أمور اعتيادية مثل المحافظة على انضباط الفتية

00:00:07.342 --> 00:00:10.167

والحرص بأن يحضروا صفوفهم بالموعد

00:00:10.731 --> 00:00:14.207

وتفادي وقوع مشاكل وإرسالهم لزنازينهم للنوم أمور رتيبة

00:00:14.468 --> 00:00:17.205

بصفتكما حارسان أكان ي سمح لك وللسيد نوكس

00:00:17.422 --> 00:00:20.854

باستخدام القوة للمحافظة على انضباط الفتية على حد تعبيرك

00:00:20.984 --> 00:00:22.853

ماذا ماذا تعني باستخدام القوة

00:00:22.983 --> 00:00:27.152

أكان ي سمح لكم بضربهم لا بالطبع لا

00:00:27.328 --> 00:00:31.759

هل تعرض أي فتية للضرب على يد حراس بإصلاحية ويلكنسون

00:00:32.802 --> 00:00:36.191

أجل حتما حدثت أشياء كتلك فقد كان

00:00:36.537 --> 00:00:39.003

كان مكانا كبيرا لكنه لم يكن تصرفا شائعا

00:00:39.188 --> 00:00:41.231

بالتأكيد دعنا نحدد المساحة إذن

00:00:41.404 --> 00:00:47.574

هل ضربت أنت أو السيد نوكس فتية تحت إشرافكما بإصلاحية ويلكنسون للأولاد

00:00:55.307 --> 00:00:59.000

هل أعيد السؤال سيد فيرغسون لا

00:01:00.825 --> 00:01:03.779

إذن أجب رجاء وتذكر أنك تحت القسم

00:01:03.953 --> 00:01:09.166

كان ي ضرب أحيانا بعض الفتية الذين كنا نعتبرهم غير منضبطين

00:01:09.384 --> 00:01:12.999

وكيف كانوا ي ضربون لا أفهم ما تعنيه

00:01:12.468 --> 00:01:14.554

بواسطة قبضة صفعة

00:01:14.858 --> 00:01:17.812

ركلة رب ما هراوة

00:01:18.117 --> 00:01:21.999

حسب الوضع ومن كان يحدد طبيعة ذلك الوضع

00:01:22.157 --> 00:01:23.059

الحارس المعني

00:01:23.764 --> 00:01:26.241

تلك سلطة هائلة ت مارس على فتى صحيح

00:01:26.458 --> 00:01:28.414

كان ذلك جزءا من العمل سيدي

00:01:28.544 --> 00:01:30.759

أكان التعذيب جزءا من العمل

00:01:39.318 --> 00:01:41.999

كان الفتية يتعرضون للتعذيب أليس كذلك سيد فيرغسون

00:01:42.012 --> 00:01:43.999

عر ف كلمة تعذيب

00:01:45.014 --> 00:01:47.182

دعنا نعر ف كلمة تعذيب إذن

00:01:49.005 --> 00:01:53.221

الحرق بالسجائر وعمليات ضرب عشوائية

00:01:53.959 --> 00:01:58.001

والحبس الانفرادي بدون طعام أو إضاءة

00:01:59.039 --> 00:02:03.001

هل حدث ذلك برأيك أحيانا

00:02:03.474 --> 00:02:05.994

من كان يعذبهم

00:02:05.386 --> 00:02:07.819

حراس أي حراس

00:02:09.166 --> 00:02:12.999

لا يمكنني تذكرهم كلهم

00:00:01.000 --> 00:00:03.375

Non c'est une maison de redressement pour adolescents

00:00:03.459 --> 00:00:06.459

Et quelle y était votre fonction

00:00:06.584 --> 00:00:08.334

La fonction habituelle

00:00:08.005 --> 00:00:12.584

Maintenir l'ordre veiller à ce qu'ils soient à l'heure en cours

00:00:13.334 --> 00:00:15.833

Veiller à ce que tout se passe bien

00:00:16.916 --> 00:00:20.666

En tant que gardes étiez vous M Nokes et vous habilités à utiliser la force

00:00:20.833 --> 00:00:22.833

pour comme vous dites maintenir l'ordre

00:00:23.417 --> 00:00:25.417

Qu'est ce qu'est ce que vous voulez dire par force

00:00:25.584 --> 00:00:27.459

Etiez vous autorisés à les frapper

00:00:28.708 --> 00:00:29.584

Bien sûr que non

00:00:29.916 --> 00:00:33.708

Personne n'a jamais été frappé par aucun garde à Wilkinson

00:00:35.025 --> 00:00:38.208

Je suis sûr que cela a pu se produire C'était

00:00:38.875 --> 00:00:42.208

grand comme endroit Mais ce n'était pas une pratique courante

00:00:42.375 --> 00:00:43.708

Disons que c'était plus petit

00:00:43.875 --> 00:00:47.025

Avez vous vous ou M Nokes frappé un des garçons que vous aviez en charge

00:00:47.417 --> 00:00:49.875

à Wilkinson

00:00:57.625 --> 00:01:00.998

Voulez vous que je répète la question

00:01:00.292 --> 00:01:01.208

Non

00:01:03.292 --> 00:01:05.417

Alors répondez s'il vous plaît Et n'oubliez pas que vous êtes sous serment

00:01:06.459 --> 00:01:09.542

Certains garçons qui nous apparaissaient comme indisciplinés

00:01:09.708 --> 00:01:11.708

étaient frappés à l'occasion

00:01:11.916 --> 00:01:13.417

Et comment étaient ils frappés

00:01:13.625 --> 00:01:15.459

Je ne sais pas ce que vous voulez dire Avec des coups de poing

00:01:15.958 --> 00:01:19.791

des claques avec une matraque peut être

00:01:20.005 --> 00:01:24.208

Ca dépendait de la situation Qui jugeait quelle était la situation

00:01:24.075 --> 00:01:25.625

Les gardes présents

00:01:26.375 --> 00:01:28.375

C'est avoir beaucoup de pouvoir sur un jeune garçon non

00:01:28.875 --> 00:01:32.459

Ca faisait partie du boulot La torture en faisait partie aussi

00:01:41.075 --> 00:01:44.208

Les garçons étaient torturés n'est ce pas M Ferguson

00:01:44.292 --> 00:01:45.292

Pouvez vous définir le mot torture

00:01:47.417 --> 00:01:49.002

Bien définissons le terme de torture

00:01:51.005 --> 00:01:52.542

Brûlures de cigarettes

00:01:54.998 --> 00:01:55.025

corrections infligées sans raison

00:01:56.583 --> 00:02:00.125

isolement sans nourriture et sans lumière

00:02:01.833 --> 00:02:05.292

Est ce que cela se produisait A l'occasion

00:02:05.791 --> 00:02:08.459

Qui les torturait Les gardes

00:02:08.666 --> 00:02:09.666

Quels gardes

00:02:11.005 --> 00:02:13.833

Je ne me souviens pas de tous

00:00:01.000 --> 00:00:04.128

Was war Ihre Aufgabe in dieser Erziehungsanstalt

00:00:04.212 --> 00:00:05.796

Routineaufgaben

00:00:06.089 --> 00:00:10.134

Für Ordnung sorgen aufpassen dass die Jungen pünktlich zum Unterricht kommen

00:00:10.593 --> 00:00:14.346

nach Ärger Ausschau halten sie ins Bett bringen nichts Aufregendes

00:00:14.431 --> 00:00:17.224

War es Ihnen und Mr Nokes als Wärter gestattet

00:00:17.308 --> 00:00:21.145

Gewalt anzuwenden um für Ordnung zu sorgen

00:00:21.229 --> 00:00:25.001

Was meinen Sie mit Gewalt Durften Sie sie schlagen

00:00:25.191 --> 00:00:27.999

Nein natürlich nicht

00:00:27.193 --> 00:00:29.486

Wurde mal ein Junge von Wärtern geschlagen

00:00:29.571 --> 00:00:32.156

während Ihrer Zeit im Wilkinson Heim

00:00:32.657 --> 00:00:35.242

Ich kann mir vorstellen dass so etwas mal passiert ist

00:00:35.326 --> 00:00:39.001

Es war eine große Einrichtung aber es war nicht üblich

00:00:39.164 --> 00:00:41.248

Sicher Dann werde ich konkreter

00:00:41.332 --> 00:00:45.169

Haben Sie oder Mr Nokes jemals einen Jungen unter Ihrer Aufsicht

00:00:45.253 --> 00:00:47.713

im Wilkinson Heim für Jungen geschlagen

00:00:55.305 --> 00:00:57.681

Soll ich die Frage wiederholen

00:00:57.765 --> 00:00:58.932

Nein

00:01:00.081 --> 00:01:03.896

Dann antworten Sie bitte Bedenken Sie dass Sie unter Eid stehen

00:01:03.098 --> 00:01:07.149

Ein paar der Jungen die Probleme mit der Disziplin hatten

00:01:07.233 --> 00:01:09.276

wurden gelegentlich geschlagen

00:01:09.036 --> 00:01:10.986

Wie wurden sie geschlagen

00:01:11.993 --> 00:01:13.363

Wie meinen Sie das Mit der Faust

00:01:13.999 --> 00:01:17.001

der offenen Hand einem Tritt oder vielleicht mit einem Schlagstock

00:01:18.998 --> 00:01:22.998

Das hing von der Situation ab Wer entschied über die Situation

00:01:22.001 --> 00:01:23.999

Der Wärter vor Ort

00:01:23.791 --> 00:01:26.001

Sie hatten viel Macht über die Jungen nicht wahr

00:01:26.503 --> 00:01:30.038

Das brachte der Job mit sich Brachte er auch Folter mit sich

00:01:39.265 --> 00:01:41.767

Die Jungs wurden gefoltert oder nicht

00:01:42.002 --> 00:01:43.685

Definieren Sie Folter

00:01:45.002 --> 00:01:46.098
