Quarter Of Juvenile Center’s Workers Have Criminal Records
INDIANAPOLIS — Recent background checks revealed that more than 25 percent of Marion County’s juvenile detention center employees have criminal records, the center’s interim superintendent said Friday.
The checks, initiated two weeks ago, showed that 24 of the center’s 90 workers have criminal histories. The finding comes less than two months after nine former employees were charged with having sex with female detainees at the center between 2000 and 2005.
