Texas Juvenile Detention Centers - What's Happening in 2019?

In 2019, prison staff used force on incarcerated children almost 7,000 times equivalent to six times per child who was confined there. At five state juvenile detention centers, the day to day conditions are relentlessly violent and oppressive with guards often resorting to force according to a complaint filed to the justice department. Two months before that, at another detention facility in Texas, a corrections officer was fired after a teenage girl said she was pregnant with his child. And in May of last year, another prison worker was arrested on charges that he had carried on a relationship with the teenager who was on parole.
