- 1:59Speaker 3: We begin the troubling report from the US Justice Department
- 2:03Speaker 3: regarding the state of youth detention centers in Texas with details.
- 2:08Speaker 3: Here's Sidney Sumner of Crime Online.
- 2:11Speaker 2: A scathing investigation has revealed widespread abuse, excessive use of
- 2:15Speaker 2: pepper spray, and prolonged isolation of children within Texas Juvenile
- 2:19Speaker 2: Justice Department facilities. According to the report released in recent days,
- 2:23Speaker 2: these practices amount to violations of the constitutional rights of
- 2:27Speaker 2: hundreds of young detainees. This alarming report follows a three
- 2:31Speaker 2: year federal investigation into the alleged mistreatment and harsh conditions
- 2:35Speaker 2: endured by the youth in these centers. US Assistant Attorney
- 2:39Speaker 2: General Kristen Clark highlighted that staff members engaged in sexual
- 2:43Speaker 2: acts with minors, subjected children to isolation periods ranging from
- 2:47Speaker 2: seventeen to twenty two hours, and use pepper spray on them.
- 2:51Speaker 2: The report also pointed out a significant racial disparity, noting
- 2:54Speaker 2: that approximately eighty percent of the children in these facilities
- 2:57Speaker 2: are black or Hispanic. In respect spons the Texas Juvenile
- 3:01Speaker 2: Justice Department asserted its zero tolerance policy towards abuse and neglect,
- 3:05Speaker 2: emphasizing its cooperation with federal investigators during their site visit
- 3:09Speaker 2: in twenty twenty two. However, attempts to obtain comments from
- 3:13Speaker 2: Governor Greg Abbott's office were unsuccessful, although the office had
- 3:16Speaker 2: previously indicated its willingness to cooperate with the federal inquiry.
- 3:20Speaker 2: The report sheds light on severe mental health concerns, with
- 3:24Speaker 2: instances of suicidal ideation and self harm being overlooked in
- 3:28Speaker 2: children being routinely punished instead of receiving proper treatment. This
- 3:32Speaker 2: neglect violates the Individuals with Disabilities Education Act as noted
- 3:36Speaker 2: by federal officials. While the Justice Department expressed a willingness
- 3:40Speaker 2: to collaborate with Texas to rectify these issues, it did
- 3:43Speaker 2: not rule out the possibility of federal litigation. This investigation
- 3:47Speaker 2: into Texas' five juvenile facilities began in twenty twenty one
- 3:51Speaker 2: after advocates lodged a formal complaint. It revealed that around
- 3:54Speaker 2: nine hundred youths are currently held in these understaffed and
- 3:58Speaker 2: outdated centers, facing struck ruural challenges and a lack of
- 4:01Speaker 2: resources at both state and local levels. Advocates argue that
- 4:05Speaker 2: judges and law meakers need to explore alternative rehabilitation methods,
- 4:09Speaker 2: emphasizing that the current conditions only serve to exacerbate the
- 4:13Speaker 2: trauma experience by these young individuals.
- 4:15Speaker 3: It's important to note that Texas is not alone in
- 4:18Speaker 3: facing such scrutiny. Recently, a federal investigation was launched into
- 4:23Speaker 3: Kentucky's youth detention centers, and lawsuits have been filed this
- 4:27Speaker 3: year in Illinois, Pennsylvania, Maryland, and New Jersey, all alleging
- 4:31Speaker 3: harsh treatment of incarcerated children.
