Families In Prison

There are rules about how children must be treated in day care. OK, T Don Hutto is exempt from that.

There are rules about how children must be treated in schools. However, if they are not having classes and upholding the educational standards of the state, I don't think they can be considered a school.

There are rules about camps, such as Girl Scout camp, but Hutto is not a camp.

There are rules about the treatment of children in foster care, but they can't say Hutto provides foster care.

There are rules about how children must be treated in Youth correction facilities (well, we've seen how that goes, haven't we?), but such facilities exclude parents, by definition.

There are no rules about how children must be treated in prison when the parents are there with them. And, to write such rules gives credence to the situation. That is, it presupposes that it is OK to keep children in such a place.

(insert air horn noise) WRONG!!
