death in custody

Another juvenile kills himself in "prison" and there is a rush to point the finger of blame at our "juvenile detention system" Why?

So that the government can be blamed -- and sued. If you can prove a vague relationship to the dead kid, you can then demand compensation. Or revenge, on someone. Anyone.

What we actually need is a Royal Commission. Why was the kid in jail? Why was the kid drunk and drugged? Why was he a criminal? Where were his friends and family? Did they ever ask, RU OK? Why not?

It's too late to blame the prison.

Point the finger of blame at the kid's friends, family, environment and upbringing.

Then try to avoid the misery of the next destroyed youth.

Oh, and if all else fails, make suicide a simpler, pain-free, blame-free option. For everyone.
