Advocacy groups: TYC should be investigated

Hoppe has it:
Four groups are calling upon the U.S. Department of Justice to investigate the Texas Youth Commission because of a lack of mental health treatment, improper use of restraints and poor security conditions. The youth commission, where about 2,000 young offenders are confined, was overhauled by the state four years ago prompted by reports of abuse, sexual attacks and poor conditions. The number of detained youths has been reduced, new managers put in place and legislators have increased their oversight.
