Rhode Island 17 year olds held as adults under flawed plan
Dennys George and about 40 other 17 year olds were jailed in the state prison with no juvenile protections after a 2009-era policy moved them to adult courts. Officials acknowledge the cost saving goal failed, causing prison-custody costs to rise and confusion in the system. Lawmakers consider returning 17 year olds to juvenile court amid warnings from advocates and prosecutors.
