The Department of Justice said kids in state custody at all five Texas Juvenile Justice Department facilities have been frequently subjected to excessive force, sexual abuse and other civil rights violations.
Assistant Attorney General Kristen Clarke for the Department of Justice's Civil Rights Division speaks during a news conference at the Department of Justice in Washington, Thursday, Aug. 4, 2022. –
Clarke said the U.S. Attorney General’s Office’s investigation was launched in Oct. 2021 after it received a complaint from two advocacy groups describing troubling conditions inside those facilities. With the insight of clinicians, the report concluded that isolation was linked to an increase in the children’s depression, anxiety, paranoia, hallucinations and suicide.
