We reported in March that a corrupt network of staffers is to blame for drugs, cash, cellphones and weapons flowing inside gothamist.com/news/drugs-cas…
One detainee was recently found with 14 blades on him, a source said. "They walk around with them in their mouths. There is a market for it within the facility."
But sources say detainees often skip school and instead receive packets of homework to complete on their own time. Those who do show up to class are divided by gang affiliation – not grade level.
The classrooms are part of a school run by the Dept. of Education to provide “instruction according to grade level in all major middle and high school subjects.” They say attendance is mandatory.
Violence has gotten so bad that employees are confining kids in classrooms as a security measure “from 5 a.m. until 11 p.m. with at most a sheet and a box of cards if they are lucky."
This is how some kids are sleeping at NYC juvenile detention centers — where classrooms are being used as cells🧵
