Juvenile prisons get bad review from auditor The investigation conducted recently by the KY State Auditor says that youth are treated with a level of scrutiny that more similarly resembles the processes of adult detention facilities. The report noted a consistent lack of strategic direction to detention centers across the state, including the one in Columbia, leaving staff with little to no direction from outdated and inconsistent policies that do not fulfill national standards. As a result of inadequate direction, staffing issues continue to rise within the facilities and have resulted in insufficient training, low quality of care, poor juvenile-to-staff ratios, and overall low morale. All of this is particularly alarming in light of the additional $9 million the General Assembly appropriated to the Department of Juvenile Justice above its budget request each year for the last biennium. Given the additional funds appropriated to the department, it appears as though the administration has failed to appropriately prioritize monies to ensure that staff and the youth under DJJ supervision are cared for properly.
