 U.S. Department of Justice Investigation of New York Juvenile Justice Facilities
From June through November 2008, the U.S. Department of Justice (DOJ) investigation inspected four of New York's juvenile justice facilities: the Lansing
Residential Center, Louis Gossett, Jr. Residential Center, Tryon Residential Center, and Tryon Girls Center. DOJ focused on assessing whether youth were
adequately protected from harm and if sufficient mental health care was provided. The investigators found that the facilities failed to protect youth from harm
and failed to provide adequate mental health care and treatment.
