This Youth Detention Center Superintendent Illegally Locks Kids Alone in Cells. No One Has Forced Him to Stop.
The Richard L. Bean Juvenile Service Center has been punishing kids with seclusion more than any other facility in Tennessee. And as the laws and rules on how to treat kids changed, the facility failed to keep up.
“What we do is treat everybody like they’re in here for murder,” he says. “You don’t have a problem if you do that.”
Most of the children in the Bean Center are not in for murder — in fact, most have only been charged with a crime, but are awaiting court dates.
So… that’s a civil rights violation on a massive scale.
