Officers at a juvenile detention center in Dallas kept kids isolated for days and falsified logs of observation checks and school attendance, an investigation from the Texas Juvenile Justice Department found.

“They spent the vast majority of their days inside their cells, sometimes up to 24 hours a day, without regular access to education, large muscle exercise, outdoor recreation, or showers,” state investigators wrote in a report released Monday.

This week’s report comes after the U.S. Department of Justice found unconstitutional conditions at all of Texas’ five juvenile detention facilities last month. They noted abusive and poor conditions and listed many remedial measures including limiting periods of isolation. Investigators found other wrongdoings such as pepper spray use on children and failure to apply sexual abuse reduction measures.

Just a little child torture. Totally normal in Texas.

Look, you can either get tortured in our detention centers or shot in our schools. No one can say that we aren't pro-choice!

Like, if you choose to be black, you have to go to the detention center

Most of those kids are probably brown and Black, so it isn't needed. /s

Other allegations reported and investigated by OIG included children not being fed sufficiently and phone and visitation rights taken away due to behavior issues, although the investigation could not find these to be true or false.

Way to go, Texas. I just assume everything is terrible there because you pretty much prove it every day.

So the DOJ will be sweeping in to arrest everyone involved and charge them with the maximum, right? Right?
