Report: Little improvement at youth facility since fatal attack | Emily Babay | Crime & Punishment | Washington Examiner

A year after a teacher was raped and killed at a Prince George's County youth detention center, many of the conditions that contributed to her death still persist, according to the watchdog that monitors the state's juvenile justice system. Those conditions include chronic overcrowding, overburdened staff and a lack of security cameras, a new report by the state's Juvenile Justice Monitoring Unit says.

A 14-year-old boy is charged with sexually assaulting, beating and strangling 65-year-old Hannah Wheeling at the Cheltenham Youth Facility last February. The Department of Juvenile Services says improvements have been made at the facility since then, but the monitoring unit says the reforms don't go far enough.
