NEW YORK — Safety and staffing challenges are front and center in a new report calling for major changes at two of New York City 's juvenile detention centers.The city's Department of Investigation outlines a troubling pattern of detainee misconduct, criminal activity and lack of staff control since the implementation of bail reform and New York's Raise the Age legislation, which says 18-year-olds can be tried as adults.
'Our view is that the current behavioral management systems, training for staff, don't meet the needs of the current population, and therefore they really don't meet the needs of the staff either, and that's fundamentally what we think needs to change,' said Jocelyn E. Strauber, commissioner of the New York City DOI.
