Speaker 3: Here's Sidney Sumner of Crime Online.

34
00:02:11,000 --> 00:02:15,200
Speaker 2: A scathing investigation has revealed widespread abuse, excessive use of

35
00:02:15,240 --> 00:02:19,280
Speaker 2: pepper spray, and prolonged isolation of children within Texas Juvenile

36
00:02:19,440 --> 00:02:23,680
Speaker 2: Justice Department facilities. According to the report released in recent days,

37
00:02:23,760 --> 00:02:27,440
Speaker 2: these practices amount to violations of the constitutional rights of

38
00:02:27,600 --> 00:02:31,440
Speaker 2: hundreds of young detainees. This alarming report follows a three

39
00:02:31,480 --> 00:02:35,440
Speaker 2: year federal investigation into the alleged mistreatment and harsh conditions

40
00:02:35,520 --> 00:02:39,079
Speaker 2: endured by the youth in these centers. US Assistant Attorney

41
00:02:39,080 --> 00:02:43,080
Speaker 2: General Kristen Clark highlighted that staff members engaged in sexual

42
00:02:43,160 --> 00:02:47,400
Speaker 2: acts with minors, subjected children to isolation periods ranging from

43
00:02:47,480 --> 00:02:50,720
Speaker 2: seventeen to twenty two hours, and use pepper spray on them.

44
00:02:51,080 --> 00:02:54,880
Speaker 2: The report also pointed out a significant racial disparity, noting

45
00:02:54,919 --> 00:02:57,919
Speaker 2: that approximately eighty percent of the children in these facilities

46
00:02:57,919 --> 00:03:01,240
Speaker 2: are black or Hispanic. In respect spons the Texas Juvenile

47
00:03:01,400 --> 00:03:05,440
Speaker 2: Justice Department asserted its zero tolerance policy towards abuse and neglect,

48
00:03:05,720 --> 00:03:09,600
Speaker 2: emphasizing its cooperation with federal investigators during their site visit

49
00:03:09,720 --> 00:03:13,280
Speaker 2: in twenty twenty two. However, attempts to obtain comments from

50
00:03:13,320 --> 00:03:16,800
Speaker 2: Governor Greg Abbott's office were unsuccessful, although the office had

51
00:03:16,840 --> 00:03:20,600
Speaker 2: previously indicated its willingness to cooperate with the federal inquiry.

52
00:03:20,960 --> 00:03:24,120
Speaker 2: The report sheds light on severe mental health concerns, with

53
00:03:24,280 --> 00:03:28,160
Speaker 2: instances of suicidal ideation and self harm being overlooked in

54
00:03:28,240 --> 00:03:32,040
Speaker 2: children being routinely punished instead of receiving proper treatment. This

55
00:03:32,200 --> 00:03:36,520
Speaker 2: neglect violates the Individuals with Disabilities Education Act as noted

56
00:03:36,520 --> 00:03:40,360
Speaker 2: by federal officials. While the Justice Department expressed a willingness

57
00:03:40,360 --> 00:03:43,440
Speaker 2: to collaborate with Texas to rectify these issues, it did

58
00:03:43,440 --> 00:03:47,480
Speaker 2: not rule out the possibility of federal litigation. This investigation

59
00:03:47,560 --> 00:03:51,200
Speaker 2: into Texas' five juvenile facilities began in twenty twenty one

60
00:03:51,320 --> 00:03:54,920
Speaker 2: after advocates lodged a formal complaint. It revealed that around

61
00:03:54,960 --> 00:03:57,960
Speaker 2: nine hundred youths are currently held in these understaffed and

62
00:03:58,000 --> 00:04:01,520
Speaker 2: outdated centers, facing struck ruural challenges and a lack of

63
00:04:01,560 --> 00:04:05,280
Speaker 2: resources at both state and local levels. Advocates argue that

64
00:04:05,360 --> 00:04:09,360
Speaker 2: judges and law meakers need to explore alternative rehabilitation methods,

65
00:04:09,600 --> 00:04:13,160
Speaker 2: emphasizing that the current conditions only serve to exacerbate the

66
00:04:13,200 --> 00:04:15,680
Speaker 2: trauma experience by these young individuals.

67
00:04:15,800 --> 00:04:18,599
Speaker 3: It's important to note that Texas is not alone in

68
00:04:18,720 --> 00:04:23,280
Speaker 3: facing such scrutiny. Recently, a federal investigation was launched into

69
00:04:23,360 --> 00:04:27,240
Speaker 3: Kentucky's youth detention centers, and lawsuits have been filed this

70
00:04:27,360 --> 00:04:31,880

71
00:04:31,960 --> 00:04:34,480
