In 2004, during the consideration of the third periodic report of Chile before the Committee against Torture, a representative of Chile stated:
Since 1994, those minors who were in the adult prison system … [have] been held completely separately from adults. Thus, although 400 minors … [have] been held in adult penitentiary establishments in 2003, they … [have] not been allowed contact with adult prisoners at any time. As of 2003, minors … [are] also kept apart from adults during their transportation to court or between prisons.
