In the Philippines there are many minors imprisoned in overcrowded cells under unhygienic conditions. As they are imprisoned together with adults there is the danger of them being sexually abused or becoming victims to violence. The police often arrest suspects without a warrant or even witnesses. Some of them are innocent and imprisoned for little things. According to the Philippine law, all prisoners are to be presented to the custodial judge immediately after being arrested, but they are often imprisoned for a long time without even a court hearing.
