      This is Illinois, Republicans haven’t had power there since before your grandpa was born. These are democrat run, funded and created kid jails.

        All five of the facilities that were closed and 4 of 5 still operating are in mostly or totally red parts of the state. It’s not Democrats working at those facilities and abusing the kids. It is Democrats working to reform or entirely eliminate the system.

          Why did they implement the system and actively refuse to eliminate the system if they are supposedly working to do so now? They don’t need local permission, these are state facilities.
