Thirteen Escape from Detention Cente

Thirteen juveniles escaped from their detention center in Tennessee. 12 of the juveniles have been found and put in a different detention center to face more charges. The one kid that remains hiding has 3 felonies and is 16 years old. The detention center is now rapidly upgrading their security and systems so they will not have another break out soon. For example aluminum panels that were easy to kick through have been replaced with steel, and they are putting cement at the base of fences to make them harder to break and help other kids over. The detention center will not hold those kids again incase of another accident and say they are going to a more secure center.


Do you think their new security upgrades are going to stop kids from breaking out? Yes or No. Why and Why not.

  • I think it will stop many people from breaking out, but someone may find a different way someday. I don't think anyone anytime will get out again like this.

  • escapee's are never going to stop happening. The people inside have all the time in the world to look for imperfections in security, all they need to do is choose a time to strike. It you don't want people to escape, you would have to seal their cells, so they can't look around, and put a bag over their head when they go to eat, get exercise, etc...

  • If I were in a juvenile detention center and had the desire to get out, I know that I would probably not stop looking for ways to get out. Several of my family members across the country work at detention centers so I know how the kids there act and think. Simple improvements like the steel and cement will most likely not stop them for long. We are talking about teenagers after all. You don't have to break though something in order to break out. It is easy to find ways to get out of places you don't want to be in.

  • Yes because steel and things like cement  will be hard to break through. I think the security guards should keep more watch on the kids and not let them communicate with others as much, then they wouldn't be able to ban together and make huge plans of breaking out like this. 

  • I think that it should've been that secured in the first place. I mean after all it is a Detention Center, for juveniles. Kids who are there are obviously troubled and probably going to probably try and breakout anyways but it's best to make it harder. Hopefully people will quit trying to break out and do there time and leave! :)

  • A new upgrade should be enough to stop the kids from breaking out because for starters they are just kids. It's not like there brains are that sophisticated that they can keep finding ways to break out
  • I think kids will probably still try to break out of there, but they it will just make it harder for them to escape. 

  • Yes because they made it stronger by changing the aluminum panels to steel adding cement bases, so we dont have another break out and have them roaming around hurting people.

  • Be sure to reply more frequently-not all on the same day.

  • yes because they are making it better it will be harder well they schould make it better
