In this April 26, 2007 photo, a group of male inmates prepare to march back to their dorm following lunch at The Gainesville State School, one of the Texas Youth Commission's facilities where children are incarcerated. State officials blame longstanding problems at Gainesville State School in North Texas on the inability to hire and retain qualified staff to supervise hundreds of juvenile delinquents, many of whom suffer from severe mental health and behavioral problems. But juvenile justice advocates say these problems have persisted at the remote, rural lockups under the state’s control for more than a decade. (Mona Reeder/The Dallas Morning News via AP)
