An official of the private company that runs the state’s Alexander youth lockup says the company will hire a private investigator to look at complaints filed by the juvenile inmates.
John Morgenthau, chief operating officer of G-Four-S Youth Services, said the company is now in an assessment phase, evaluating its staff and practices. Morgenthau appeared this morning before the House Committee on Aging, Children and Youth, Legislative and Military Affairs.
He told the lawmakers that he expected the company would discover some practices that will be offensive. He said G-Four-S will investigate every incident and grievance filed by the youths, even if someone complains that his mashed potatoes were cold.
