The Richard L. Bean Juvenile Service Center has been punishing kids with seclusion more than any other facility in #Tennessee.

And as the laws and rules on how to treat kids changed, the facility failed to keep up.

@ProPublica This is incredibly disturbing. Solitary confinement, even for under 24 hours, is a form of psychological torture. Nobody should be treated in the way people here were treated, even hardened criminals doing serious time, let alone teenagers! The government is without excuse they *knew* about the injustices here and stood idly by. Horrifying.
