Garza called law enforcement, who detained him and placed him in solitary confinement for three days at the Darrell B. Hester Juvenile Detention Center in Brownsville.
Why the fuck does a juvenile detention center even have solitary confinement… America is so fucked up…
I work in with traumatized teens. There are times where they need to be isolated from their peers, but I agree that solitary is not therapeutic. Research and experience easily demonstrate that.
The reality is, though, that these systems are so underfunded and understaffed that these detrimental tactics are the only viable option.
I’m not defending the practice. I would never work in a system that uses solitary confinement with adolescents, but I have the luxury of choice.
“solitary confinement” doesn’t mean anything more than exactly what it says. Telling your kid to “go to your room” is solitary confinement. It just means they’re secluded from any other inmates, not that he was chained to the bed and shoved into a dark hole in the ground.
None of us know the details of what happened here. If he had stabbed a teacher or something people would have been screaming about how “no one did anything” and that there were “red flags everywhere!” and about how useless law enforcement is.
