Air travel absolutely SUCKS! Been on @Delta plane on tarmac for two fu#%ing hours! Can I get a SNACK? Will SOMEONE communicate about WTF is going on?! Flying DC to ATL…could have LITERALLY been halfway home if I’d driven. @Delta how are you going to compensate for lost time?!
23/ To get more @propublica stories like this, sign up for our newsletter: propublica.org/newsletters/th…
22/ @meribah and I want to thank the children and parents who shared their stories with us. You can can read the full investigation, published by @propublica and @WPLN, here: propublica.org/article/black-…
21/ To report this story, we filed 56 public records requests, got 38 hours of audiotaped interviews from an internal police investigation and watched >100 public meetings spanning 12 years. For more on our reporting process, check out the methodology section at the story’s end.
20/ Check out this promotional video, narrated by Judge Davenport over saxophone music and B-roll of children in black-and-white striped uniforms. It’s titled, “What Can the Rutherford County Juvenile Detention Center Do For You?” youtu.be/igoy0sq4noQ
19/ When forced to stop jailing so many of its own children, Rutherford County ramped up its pitch to detain kids from other places. The county charges $175 a day for each kid they jail. propublica.org/article/black-…
18/ The county’s illegal jailing of kids came to a stop only when a federal judge ordered an end to the filter system. But the county is still jailing lots of kids.
17/ Judge Davenport declined to talk to us for this story. So did Duke and Templeton. So did the Department of Children’s Services. In court records, Rutherford County has denied any wrongdoing. propublica.org/article/black-…
16/ The Tennessee Department of Children’s Services licenses juvenile jails. It inspected Rutherford County’s jail every year. Not once did it flag the filter system. “There was very little graffiti,” an inspector wrote one year. “Neat and clean,” she wrote in three other yrs.
15/ Of the 11 kids arrested in this case, four wound up being jailed under the “filter system.” The filter system was illegal. Yet it was written into the jail’s standard operating procedures for nine years.
14/ One commissioner, who used to work in a post office, came up with the charge of “criminal responsibility for conduct of another.” The problem? There’s no such charge. These kids were charged with a crime that doesn’t exist. propublica.org/article/black-…
13/ To arrive at a charge, Templeton met with two judicial commissioners. In Rutherford County, these commissioners wield great legal power. They can issue warrants, set bail and conduct probable cause hearings — all without needing a law degree.
12/ The police officer who investigated this fight was Chrystal Templeton. She wanted to charge every kid who watched. She believed charging them was helping them. By the time of this investigation, Templeton had been disciplined at least 37 times, her personnel file shows.
11/ Duke reports monthly to county commissioners, who liken the jail to a business and ask often about the number of beds filled. “Just like a hotel,” one commissioner says in this video. “With breakfast provided, and it’s not a continental,” says a second.
10/ In a videotaped deposition, Duke was asked when the filter system applied. “Depends on the situation,” she said repeatedly. A lawyer asked Duke, “Is it your policy or not?” “No. Yes. It — it’s a policy to use it when necessary,” Duke said.
9/ Lynn Duke, appointed by Davenport, is the county’s head jailer. Tennessee narrowly limits when kids can be locked up. But Duke had her own way: the “filter system.” Her jail locked up any kid deemed a “TRUE threat.” As for what’s a “TRUE threat,” her handbook didn’t say.
8/ Under Davenport, Rutherford County locked up a staggering 48% of children whose cases were referred to juvenile court. The statewide average was 5%. This graphic shows detention rates for juvenile courts in Tennessee. Rutherford County is on the far right.
7/ She says children must have consequences. She encourages parents to use drug-testing kits on their kids. “Don’t buy them at the Dollar Tree,” she says. “The best ones are your reputable drug stores.”
6/ Davenport describes her work as a calling. “I’m here on a mission. It’s God’s mission,” she once told a newspaper.
