Quinn calls for changes in juvenile prison system
Gov. Pat Quinn wants to end a rocky experiment with the state’s juvenile prison system.
On the heels of an audit showing the Illinois Department of Juvenile Justice has been mismanaged since it was split off from the state’s adult prison system in 2006, Quinn is proposing to fold the agency into the Illinois Department of Children and Family Services.
Note: LOL! Pat Quinn thinks that the Illinois Department of Children and Family Services is gonna do better.
Deet! Dee Dee!!!
