It could have been worse
JACKSON, Mississippi (AP) -- Young people at two Mississippi reform schools were hogtied, shackled and forced to eat their own vomit, according to a U.S. Justice Department report.
Three administrators were reassigned following the report, a state official said Tuesday. The administrators at Columbia Training School and Oakley Training School, near Raymond, were expected to remain off their regular jobs indefinitely.
Officials with the Mississippi Department of Human Services also conferred Tuesday with state Attorney General Mike Moore and Justice officials about the report, which said the "staff at Oakley and Columbia use excessive force with impunity."
Young people aged 10-17 are sent to the training schools, overseen by DHS, after facing repeated charges for property crimes or mostly low-level offenses.
The report released Monday said suicidal girls at Columbia were sometimes stripped naked and put in isolation in a poorly ventilated "dark room" with only a hole in the floor for a toilet.
Pepper spray was used for punishment when young people did not exercise or perform military drills, according to the report. It said one girl was sprayed after she complained of the heat and had trouble keeping up during exercise.
The report said boys were forced to run around tables for hours with mattresses on their backs.
"Girls are punished in the military field by being forced to run with automobile tires around their bodies or carrying logs," the report said. "Girls reported being forced to eat their own vomit if they throw up from exercising in the hot sun."
The federal report said there was no rehabilitative value to the "cruel and demeaning" exercises.
Justice Department workers also found unsanitary kitchen conditions at Oakley, including mouse droppings and cockroaches.
DHS officials said Tuesday that the agency has made "considerable changes" at the schools since Justice Department staffers' initial visit more than a year ago.
"This is a work in progress. And it's taken over 20 years for the system to be in the state that it's in, and it would not be something we can fix overnight. But I can assure you that we are aggressively looking for answers," DHS Executive Director Thelma Brittain said during a news conference.
Moore said he repeatedly asked Justice officials during Tuesday's meeting for names of young people making abuse claims so he could prosecute employees. He said Justice would not provide the names, saying the report called for systemic changes rather than individual prosecutions.
Moore said DHS had already taken "corrective action" for some problems.
"Some of the rotten eggs, so to speak, are not there anymore," he said.
In Washington, Justice spokesman Jorge Martinez said he could not elaborate on the report because "it is an open matter."
Damon Hewitt, assistant to counsel for the NAACP Legal Defense and Educational Fund in New York, said Mississippi had abdicated its responsibility to educate children in the training schools.
"This is only part of the story of what happens to kids who end up lost in the pipeline from the school house to the jail house," Hewitt said.

What a horrible sacrifice those folks had to make to show what was going on there.
