    Over 50 lawsuits tied to former Jetson Youth Center; advocates push for the facility to stay closed

    The Jetson Center for Youth, which closed in 2014, is tied to over 50 lawsuits alleging poor conditions and sexual abuse by correctional officers. Advocates argue that due to these allegations and a history of youth escaping, the facility should remain permanently shut. Despite this, state Juvenile Justice officials recently announced plans to reopen the center.
