Public Defender s Office: Teen death in detention should not have happened

Teen Robert Wright died at Circleville Juvenile Correctional Facility

Robert Wright was supposed to go home in November. The 17-year-old told his mom about the meals he wanted to eat, the people he wanted to see, the songs he wanted to record. But he never got to do any of that. Instead, he died in his cell at the Circleville Juvenile Correctional Facility in August. Until last month, no one knew why. Robert s mother, Consandra Wright, made calls almost every week looking for answers. She still has more questions than answers, even with the autopsy report she received in January – nearly five months after her son s death. Why was there a drug in Robert s system that he was never prescribed? How did another illicit drug get into a juvenile detention facility that wasn t allowing visitors due to the pandemic?
