Around 700 young people are detained in Queensland's youth detention centres each year. The Commission's Views of Young People in Detention Centres Survey provides an opportunity for young people to share their views and experiences on detention and the youth justice system, particularly on matters concerning their safety and wellbeing. Last year, teachers and the Commission's Community Visitors asked young people in the Brisbane and Cleveland detention centres to do a survey on what they think about their lives in detention.

The findings address issues surrounding admission, a sense of safety, social and health problems, programs and activities, health care, advocacy mechanisms and more.
