would love to know if the kid that knocked her out was confined to this place BEFORE the rule change, and was previously subject to the solitary and pepper spray, etc
The workers there should be armed with pepper spray, mace etc. in my opinion.
The reality is the kids that are there...the next stop for them is federal prison. They are all nothing more than repeat offenders. The place should be run like a prison.

They aren't there cuz they are angels...
The ACLU ruling now made it a dangerous place to work.

Meaning that maybe she got what she deserved?
More kids just like them because we have a system that awards and encourages fatherless and absentee parents.
Perhaps they still would be if they hadn't overused it in the past.
ACLU doesn't have the power to do that. The district judge is the one who handed down the injunction.
Also, if the employees now feel they are in an in-safe work environment why don't they get another job? Nanny state can't keep everyone safe. These employees should man up and find a new job. #PersonalResponsibility
The ACLU filed the lawsuit and started the process.
Maybe you should go work there without having the proper tools to control these angry youths. Then you too can end up in the hospital.

This isn't summer camp my friend. Or a case of slightly misguided youth. These are repeat offender hardened criminals destined for federal prison when they make it out.

Boy it sounds like that solitary confinement was an effective tool and was in no way psychologically damaging to those kids. Kudos my friend, kudos.
Very effective tool in protecting the workers from being beaten by the kids and sent to the hospital. Now the staff is no longer safe. They have been stripped of their handcuffs, pepper spray and solitary confinement tools. The inmates are running the place cuz they now know the workers don't have the tools to control them.
Not sure why anyone is defending these punk criminals. They are in there for a reason. Not some petty crimes like stealing a pack of gum from Walmart.

Yeah, no thanks.
Once again, I would wager that they would not have had their pepper spray taken away if they had not been over-using it. Just my hypothesis. I really think they should be able to protect themselves but I wonder if they didn't show restraint in using it before.
Solitary confinement is torture, pure and simple. One of these years we as a country will come to our senses and get rid of it.
I had a poster of Farrah Fawcett on my wall when I was teenager. Was yours Nurse Ratchet?
This place is in my backyard. Having a friend's and family that have worked there I have a pretty good insight to what's going on.

seems a federal judge disagrees with you
funny how adult prisons can stay safe without overuse of solitary and pepper spray.....
inmates pepper sprayed while shackled? yeah, that's overuse....
I'll stand by poorly run.......if the inmates are so dangerous, why was the teacher in a class with them alone? does that sound well run?
all but our adult supertax don't even come close to the sort of conditions they were describing here (23 hour lockdown/solitary/cuffed to tables, etc when out) (and even some of the supertax don't go that far).......yet those places are run more safely
weird
and yes, the reason I asked if the attacker was an inmate here before the changes is because that much solitary and lock down WILL compound the situation and make the inmate more violent......the conditions described before the ruling produce the exact behaviors described after
This is what I am imagining NZ is like on a date.

As usual, you miss the point. The issue isn't pepper spray, solitary confinement or other things used in prisons, it is that they were used irresponsibly.
Fercripesakes people...These are criminal punks destined for prison once they get out of there. This isn't a summer youth camp.
Remember there are 2 sides to every story....
