Leavenworth Detention Center under fire amid staffing crisis
Federal public defenders and ACLU chapters urged Leavenworth County and the White House to shutter CoreCivic's jail when its contract ends December 31. Judges, U.S. Marshals, and former guards describe a facility plagued by understaffing, violence, contraband, and inadequate pod coverage, with calls for action as violence rises and a new operator may take over.
