From the Louisville Courier-Journal. Sunday, Dec 11, 2011:

Sunday Exclusive: Status Offenders | Kentucky among nation's leaders in jailing children | The Courier-Journal | courier-journal.com
Many children are jailed for minor infractions.
This is only a short article, the full article can be read in the printed edition or by subscribing to the print edition.

BTW. Next to the article about jailed children were the five most commented section on these themes:
1. Rick Bozich | Three years of IU prayers answered in defeat of Kentucky
2. Kentucky basketball falls to Indiana in 73-72 shocker
3. Eric Crawford | Louisville basketball's Kyle Kuric's a guy with a solid foundation
4. 2 men found fatally shot in western Louisville
5. College Basketball Notebook | Calipari won't be coaching Kentucky basketball when he's old and gray

Atta way to go kentucky!

The headline is a bit misleading. It isn't as though kids are being thrown in jail with hard core criminals. Juvenile detention centers are not jails. I should know, I used to teach in one. Would you prefer the truant run the streets where he/she might get hurt, or be put in a center where there is some protection? On the other hand, maybe it is time to start jailing the parents.
