Privately run youth lockup's closure raises questions about state oversight (Stage 3)

This article is talking about the living conditions of teenage delinquents. These juvenile delinquents are wearing the same disgusting dirty clothes day after day there were even kids sleeping on dirty mattresses, how sanitary is this? Some of the beds go without bed linens. Sure these kids have done some pretty horrible stuff, they don’t deserve to be treated this bad. Even state prisons have a cleaner facility than this youth commission. If this youth commission is being monitored by four state workers how could this abuse have passed unseen? Youth commission official announced that they were going to transfer 197 juveniles from Coke County Juvenile Justice Center in Bronte to Youth Commission-run lockups because of the unsanitary and dangerous conditions they have these juveniles living in. These kids were clearly neglected. If there is four state members supposedly closely monitoring the Youth Commissions, then they need to be reevaluated because this shouldn’t have gone unnoticed, this is ridiculous. The Youth Commission officials are seeing that this matter is being fixed. Psychological assessments are going to be given among all the youths and they are also going to be given clean clothes and a haircut. I’m not saying these kids should be given a luxurious lifestyle, but they also surely don’t deserve being treated like abandoned puppies. These kids did something horrible, but nothing horrible enough to be sent to this Youth Commission and be sent to their death. The complete article can be read at
