In 2003, the American Civil Liberties Union (ACLU) investigated reports of abuse by male staff of juvenile girls in the Hawaii Youth Correctional Facility and reported that male staff observed the girls using the toilet and showers, made comments about their bodies, threatened to rape them, and in fact several girls did have sex with the officers in exchange for cigarettes. A year later, one officer pled guilty to three counts of sexual assault and to threatening a female ward. A key circumstance that came out in the ACLU report was that there were no female officers on duty at night when much of the abuse of the girls took place.
