When 17-year-old Robert Wright died alone in his cell at the Circleville Juvenile Detention Facility last August, the staff member who was supposed to be checking on him twice an hour might have been asleep.
The Department of Youth Services released a report Friday outlining its findings in the wake of Robert's death.
Rounds were not conducting properly, staff was complaining about reduced access to medical care and the CPR certifications of many staff members had lapsed.
DYS Director Ryan Gies told a pair of reporters Friday a slew of changes – including the removal of the department's medical director – have taken place as things were uncovered by the investigation.
