The five-member board tasked with overseeing Rutherford County’s Juvenile Detention Center has met three times so far and is working to better understand the center’s inner workings, WPLN reports. The board — comprised of Rutherford County Mayor Joe Carr, retired judge Steve Daniel, longtime juvenile court prosecutor Leslie Collum, pastor and attorney Michael McDonald, and school board member Claire Maxwell — has questioned what the center does to rehabilitate kids, and how many juveniles end up in adult facilities. It says it is trying to build a general understanding this year before it begins to review policies and procedures in the new year.
