The Cheltenham Youth Facility was the most overcrowded of Maryland's four largest youth detention sites between April and June, according to a new report from the watchdog group that monitors the state's Department of Juvenile Services.
The report, released Monday by the Maryland Attorney General's Juvenile Justice Monitoring Unit, warns that, in general, overcrowding creates a potentially unsafe environment for both the youths and staff....
The monitoring unit's first and second quarterly reports do not reference the slaying, but Director Marlana Valdez said her office has been investigating the incident and plans to release a special report in September.
