Complaint: Ohio youth prisons limiting classes
March 16, 2010 12:16 PM

COLUMBUS, Ohio
A legal complaint says the state is wrongly banning educational classes for imprisoned youth who violate a zero-tolerance violence policy.



Attorneys for young inmates also say in their complaint that the state doesn't have enough teachers to instruct students placed in isolation units.

The complaint filed in U.S. District Court in Columbus Monday asks a federal judge to order the Ohio Department of Youth Services to provide education to all inmates.

The same lawyers and the state agreed in May 2008 to a sweeping set of reforms to settle a 2004 lawsuit alleging improper treatment of juveniles in state detention.

Monday's complaint says the education problems violate the terms of the 2004 agreement.
