Tennessee Youth Facilities Under Fire | Nashville News
Description
Tennessee’s juvenile justice facilities run by businessman Jason Crews are under fire after reports surface of systemic failures — including unreported abuse and injuries — allegedly orchestrated from the top. Former staff say CEO Crews discouraged reporting, while the company denies wrongdoing, claiming compliance with all state laws. One young man, Thomas Jarvis, suffered two violent attacks kept secret from authorities. Now, state investigators are probing whether pressure to stay silent led to cover-ups, and whether revised emergency protocols prioritized internal handling over immediate 911 calls — putting vulnerable youth at risk.
