'They're behind fences and barbed wires. They're not animals. They're humans,' a former employee stated.
A youth organization in Illinois has turned its efforts to closing down a youth detention facility that's been around for over a century.
Former outreach worker AnnMarie Brown described her experience working at the detention facility to WBBM-TV. "They're human. They deserve to be able to laugh and love and have pain and hold this trauma and be able to talk about it like everyone else," Brown concluded. Jennifer Vollen-Katz is the executive director of the non-partisan prison watchdog John Howard Association. She spoke toChicago about the challenges various youth face with incarcerated in a detention facility such as Illinois Youth Center in St. Charles.
