    The juvenile system was split off from the department of corrections in 2006 as a step to reform the system. The state has made extensive rules that the local operators have failed to follow. Four facilities were closed because they operated in an unacceptable manner. Plenty of other states have similar problems with juvenile detainees. We are actually trying to fix the problem.
