Got a client at or heading to Lincoln Hills or Copper Lake?

Then listen to yesterday’s WPR interview with ACLU staff attorney Tim Muth about the continued horrible conditions there. They have severe staffing shortages–a 40% shortage of guards, 50% shortage of teachers, and 67% shortage of social workers.  Youth are spending 20 or 21 hours per day in their cells. Wasn’t Lincoln Hills supposed to be closed by now? Yes, but it isn’t. In fact, more youth are being sent there.
