ALBANY, N.Y. — Federal investigators say workers at four youth detention centers in New York caused serious injuries, including broken bones, when they routinely used force as a primary way to restrain juveniles, not just as a last resort.
The Justice Department’s Civil Rights Division also reports that juveniles in the state system failed to get needed counseling and mental health treatment, though most have psychological problems.
State officials say they have begun changing the system.
