Kentucky juvenile detention chief steps down amid investigation over riot and misconduct

Credited from: APNEWS

  • Tonya R. Burton, the former superintendent of a Kentucky juvenile detention center, resigned following an investigation into her conduct.
  • The resignation came after a riot in 2022 that injured staff and juveniles, leading to a U.S. Department of Justice probe.
  • Burton failed to conduct mandatory mental health assessments and made false accusations regarding a juvenile allegedly receiving a handcuff key from a guard.
  • Records indicated she was facing termination prior to her resignation due to these violations.
  • Evidence, including security footage, contradicted Burton's allegations about the juvenile's actions during the incident.
