Youth from county facilities could no longer be referred to the state’s five rural detention centers due to extreme staffing shortages.
The “grim” situation was discussed at length in the TJJD’s sunset advisory review which is essentially a system-wide audit to ensure a department is still necessary to the state government. Carter described youth being kept in solitary rooms for 22 hours at a time due to the ongoing shortage of staff.
