A story of oppression and resilience.
Bad Lads tells the gripping and devastating true story of the boys held at Medomsley Youth Detention Centre in County Durham in the 1980s. Sold to the public as a “short, sharp shock” for wayward youth, the reality hid something much darker.
At a time when the cry for accountability is louder than ever, Bad Lads demands remembrance and calls for justice for these working-class men.
