A teenager who took part in multiple riots while in youth detention has been sentenced to an adult prison after spending 36 consecutive days locked down in "traumatising and hopeless" conditions.
The 17-year-old boy, who has an extensive record of criminal offending, faced Perth Children's Court last week to be sentenced on charges including assaulting public officers, aggravated home burglary, car stealing and reckless driving to escape police pursuit.
