Officials say the uprising began when 12 teenage inmates stole keys from a staff member and broke out of their rooms at the Indian River Juvenile Detention Facility in October 2022. NBC News’ Jesse Kirsch reports.

#Ohio #Youth #Prison
Ftp
Easy, just send these monsters to deah camp.
There is NEVER going to be any change in the juvenile or adult criminal system as long as DEMOCRATS are running this country….PERIOD!!!!!!!
You cant put kods in prison with a staff who dont care about them and expect them to be better. A kid will adapt to their enviorment
As someone who worked with high risk male juvenile offenders for 10 years … I get it. And I made the choice to leave once things were happening that were putting my own mental health and physical safety in jeopardy. My time there of working with roughly 300 young men over the decade came to end. Prayers for anyone still involved in the line of work.
This isn’t anything new. Guards are completely outnumberd in terms of man power.The prisoners run the prisons not the guards.
I think tax money would work better….
@RobGee Money? That’s the common politicians answer to everything. As if adding money solves anything. Didn’t you hear the testimony in the video. The new hires leave as soon as they see what they are going to deal with. I’m afraid these animals can’t be rehabilitated.
@Lambert Lum By money I meant state of the art technology and 2x if not 3 times the workers there. Money can definitely help out. You just got to have a more efficient system that intimidates/outnumbers the inmates…..
Maybe don’t lock teenagers up like animals?
Only in America…a haven for criminals. In other countries this action will lead to killing those criminals on the spot…lol?
Ohio
Let them free
Locking kids up has really worked to stop crime. Smh.
Incompetent guards
Why WOULD anyone want to work there, or be a cop, ftm? We need Nation wide criminal justice reform NOW!
AND NOT FROM REPUBLICANS! 🙈🙉🙊
Staffing issues because no one can afford / wants to pay for it because no one really knows if their extra ‘payment’ will actually go there. Solution was ‘for-profit’ prisons but then everyone started calling out the integrity of the practice. So this is what we are left with, a degrading system with increasing misery. New solution, a Non-profit who max keeps 25% for operation costs, 75% goes right into the prison system, and not just into the wardens bonus or a new desk. IMO id pay 25% knowing 75% is not only going to go where is is supposed to, but be spent on what its ment for. ( yes i get there would be more to it, but idk, doesn’t seem like the hardest fix, just need someone with balls and the connects to get the ball rolling)
ANIMALS
That’s why they locked up now..dont do the crime if you can’t do the time..they should ship them to adult prison whenever they do something like that…they’ll wish they never did what they did lol
Well the staffing problem is due to the fact that they cannot use their pepper spray when they need to or else they will be fired. So it’s literally an impossible job. You’re not allowed to defend yourself otherwise you are in trouble for doing so
Release some adult prisoners in with them to shape them up
Y’all can’t control 12 kids
You don’t destroy things and expect not to pay. That’s right, if you smacked that monitor, you’ll have to pay. No one leaves prison until debts are paid off.
No way you’ll be releasing these beasts to public and cause chaos or worse murdering people.
Guess what? They won’t destroy things that they have to pay. Rocket science
The pay gots to match the risk across the board
I think it’s simply that criminals are finally realizing the power in numbers through all the videos being shared.
It’s past time to start treating these so called youth as ADULTS!
They weren’t doing their job right 😂
Feral children. I’m sure they’re all in there for no reason.
These kids ain’t kids I’m 3 years at least one will be a killer
Wild
Boys will be boys
What else can you do after they are locked up? What’s the next step to get there people to behave?! ☠️?!?!
I was innocently placed in a juvenile detention center for months. It was without a doubt the most mentally agonizing experience I’ve ever been through. They treat you like rapid animals in there. It doesn’t surprise me that these young men broke out in a riot. If you keep poking the bear, it’s going to snap.
They not in there for no reason dont do stupid things to go there then act out 😒🤦🏾
💯 I can relate
@Boss Moves Or maybe realize that they’re still technically children and not treat them like animals? Maybe get them serious professional psychiatric help instead of throwing them into a cage and expecting them to become civilized members of society when they’re out? How stupid are you? These are children dude. They need help, not straight up punishment all the time.
listen It’z very sad to see that teen don’t want to be in their privet room but that isn’t and excuse to attack correction officers
Cops are usless😂😂😂
Now give each person involved life without parole
Free dem boys
I can confirm today’s youth sucks. You know its getting bad when NBC is depicting these youth for what they are and not young scholars.
Most people shouldn’t have kids
💯
Humns r 🗑️. And most ppl fail at parenthood.
With how they were now maybe they should not be in juvenile but directly in adult jails.I don’t think they have a chance to change.
They probably abuse the young inmates like they abuse the adults.
They do it for ONE REASON ONLY, because there is NO punishment.
Thank you Democrats, you have yours coming trust,
That’s Ohio for you
😂😂 oh well
Free them boys level 4
Only in Ohio.💀
I’ve known too many homies assaulted by staff in juvi, so I really don’t feel bad for these cops.
Put em in iso.
Pray
I’m glad they doing it, need to do it all over United States!
The same people who say lock them up and throw away the key are the same ones who would never set foot in these facilities to keep them locked up. They always push it to someone else to do the hard work.
You see, real hero’s destroy security camera like we did in C-Ville
My first thought was thier Pent up too much,they need a Drill Sargent to work them out.
Kids tired of getting an azz hurt from the guards sure some of the kids like it but they still upset
This is a result of a horrible justice system and government. Can’t have judges putting ppl in jail that need to be in there or have the death penalty. Don’t blame youth for your mistakes 😅. Someone messed up when they were young. I wonder if the court made alot of these boys stay away from there fathers bc of mothers lies. So hmm 😅 I think there is a real criminal here and it’s definitely the judges , justice department and most likely the mothers fault.
Kids taking over jails, inmates escaping prisons and on the run for 10+ days, these guards and cops and courts are pathetic!
Castration is a start then start taking off the hands
What idiots, what do they do now? Stay there until they get hungry?
Ummm no it doesn’t happen everyday 🤦🏾♀️😩…. Nope pay them their money everybody was in danger atp
We have this same problem in youth detention centres in Australia. Honestly its a probelm created by terrible mothers.
😅😅😅
😅😅😅 Wooooooey
*Kids Will Be Kids*
Kids are idiots, destroying tools I tell you whwhat I’d be turning against them
Why try and make teens look bad because adults are incapable of doing their job?
Thank you Democrats. All these fine young men. I’m sure all of their fathers are worried about them.
Nice
CLEVELAND OHIO AINT NO JOKE !
It is a joke.
These young men most likely came from single mother households and had no direction and zero discipline in their lives.
Biden administration would let them walk free if they vote blue.
I still wouldn’t do this job even if it did pay 80k-90k a year I’m koo 😂
Ohio taking away trans rights and this is what I see? Karma
If the media and the liberal had there Way… these people would be released and They would take away your means to self defense…. leaving you a terrorized subject… begging them for help
Welcome to America!
Even with all this a action I bet it still boring asf in Ohio 😅
That’s what happens when you refused to discipline your kids 😂😂😂😂😂 they become animal.
In this modern society it’s can being yourself
That is horrible
Just imagine how lovely it will be when these same “kids” get out and are on the streets. Lovely
time to punish them like the adults theyre acting like. im 27 dont care that there teens want them to stop acting like they can do whatever they want punish them properly. its prison not daycare idgaf that they want more time to play in a common room with their buddies. If they wanted to play with friends the shouldn’t have chosen to be criminals.
Of course it’s ohio
Stop treating those kids like they not worth nothing and they will stop doing that.
There’s clearly more to this than it just being a “outburst” but as always, the usual bootlickers and the people who routinely blindly believe the police/correctional officers narrative of events never ever wonder maybe stuff like this are happening at these youth detention facilities because those in charge are constantly abusing and neglecting the youth that they’re suppose to “rehabilitate”. It’s truly sad how everytime in the aftermath of events like this, those in charge respond with ignorance and indifference but yet y’all wonder why nothing in this country changes lol just like the confederacy, a lost cause
What a bunch of dummies. Way to mess up that place you’re stuck at only to be stuck there longer or transferred to big boy prison.
There has to be obviously something happening in the background where these inmates are not being treated correctly
Sick n disgusting
Good times 😊
All the states he mentioned have that whole program where the judge gets a big kick back everytime they send a child to juvenile detention. Looks like it wasn’t worth the money after all, treat kids like cattle for too long and what else would you expect to happen?
Starts with a supportive foundation. Starts with early education. Needs being met. Equality in education. Abundance of love. Those things can have a positive impact early on. Responsibility, respect,self worth. A strong foundation. It helps.
How much they pay?
I see future thugs/ killers, this generation straight trash!!!
Whatever something happens in Ohio, stay in Ohio 💀
Charge as adults and move to adult prisons
Dummies
They were protesting for better books. Dostoevsky, Kafka, Socrates, Einstein’s theory of relativity… Their thirst for knowledge is insatiable, to the point they become wild animals when deprived.
The sad part is that even if they escape, if they have no money, where would they even go? if they go back with parents then they will simply get arrested again and that’s even if they learned their lesson in Juvenile Correction
