The Cook County Temporary Juvenile Center should be permanently shut down and replaced, according to a committee led by Chief Judge Tim Evans.
provided this article to The Associated Press through a collaboration with Institute for Nonprofit News."Semantics do not diminish the harsh reality that JTDC youth are locked in their cells for most of the day, every day," the committee wrote. "No parent would be allowed to do this to their child."
"I would much rather he actually be implementing some of the recommendations as opposed to another committee to look at the recommendations," Griffin said. "It's good to be looking at these issues, but by appointing another committee, that doesn't change anything for the kids in detention today. And our committee took a whole year, so this means another year of no changes until another committee report comes out? That would be disappointing.
In a written rebuttal to the committee's report, Dixon wrote that he did not oppose the idea of sending kids to smaller facilities. "The research really shows that room confinement is not suitable for kids at all," Mehlinger told Injustice Watch. "Room confinement should only be used for threats of immediate harm and as a last resort but not for practices like for behavioral control or behavioral management," she added.
