Dave Freudenthal on Crime

Democratic WY Governor

$50M for separate facilities for juveniles

It is time that we have a degree of uniformity in this state about how we treat juveniles. We have allocated $50 million of stimulus money to a series of juvenile detention facilities around this state. These facilities create options, so when we have juveniles that need to be detained they can be taken someplace other than hard lockdown with adults. Adults, whose offenses usually far exceed anything we would like these young people to be around. Source: Wyoming 2010 State of the State Address , Feb 8, 2010
