I hope they catch the rest of 'em. And I do hope security is buffed up afterwards. Unbelievable.

There was a time when this would be a yawner of a news item but the "kids" in lockup these days can be some seriously dangerous types. Have no idea whether these meet that description or not, just saying' :unsure2:

How come you lock up kids in the first place?

The usual reasons - murder, mass theft, being Black in public....

Well, the facility is for 13-18 year olds. And according to the news, all of the escapees have multiple felonies. So I guess the logic is to lock up people that commit felonies, even if they are under 18.

I wonder if this facility is in any way connected to the Pennsylvania judge who was eventually convicted for sending youngsters off to a particular facility that he was invested in?

Don't you usually serve time in the state where the crime was committed?

Dozens of teens were restrained at a Tennessee juvenile detention center following a revolt, days after 32 juveniles broke out of the same facility, authorities said.

The teens started filtering out of the dorm at Woodland Hills Youth Development Center in Nashville at 11:10 p.m. local time Wednesday, kicking out metal panels under the windows, according to the Tennessee Department of Children’s Services. That same method was employed Monday, when teens slipping out under a weak spot in the perimeter fence, authorities said.

Because they cause significant problems towards common citizens if just left-alone in public.

Step 1. Do crime as kid.

Step 2. Get caught.

Step 3. Sit in a room doing nothing for a few years so you learn it's stupid to get caught.

Never fails.
