The use of isolation is cruel and unusual punishment, misused, makes juveniles worse, and puts society at risk.

We are safer when they are in jail!

Solitary for children is no rehabilitation 🙏 thats horrible

[@teneciakirk9222]

You have to understand, the Juvenile Detention center is NOT a treatment facility. It should be looked at through the lens of "temporary holding" while a child awaits adjudication or release post-court. There is NO solitary confinement in JDC, the kids are sent to their rooms and their rooms are situated alongside other residents in their rooms. If a resident is removed from the general population, it's because that resident is a threat to the safety and security of everyone else. Hopefully that clears it up a bit

These kids were sent to jail for a reason! What about the victims of these juveniles crimes?

[@fredmanie2926]

I did almost 2 years in juvie for middle manning a drug deal, and was put in solitary because there was a girl there I was dating trying to pass me notes and they had to keep us separated. Not sure who the victim was.

@@fredmanie2926 sounds like you blame others for you’re wrongdoing…selling drugs (middle-man or not) is a crime, if you didn’t do the crime, you wouldn’t have been in jail. The victim is not you!
