The Kentucky Senate has unanimously approved a resolution expressing serious concerns regarding the operations of the State Department of Juvenile Justice. The vote Friday follows a series of disruptions that have included various injuries at juvenile detention facilities. In explaining the resolution, Senate President Pro Tem David Givens read news accounts of a riot at an Adair County center.
“The sort of statements made in this article, number one should never have to be made. And number two, if they do, someone should be responding to them and it’s apparent that no one is responding. How can they expect someone to want to work there? How can they even expect someone to want to work there in that environment?” asked Givens.
