The Nashville Juvenile Justice Center is looking to add a “safe exchange” facility to protect custody exchanges and visitations, WKRN reports. Judge Shelia Calloway, who oversees the juvenile justice system, recently told the Metro Public Safety Committee that such a place does not currently exist and is needed to monitor these interactions, which can turn heated. “We have seen some cases where domestic violence issues, there are cases where at the exchange, the children are a part of the drama and it’s unfortunate,” she said. The new proposed facility would be known as the Nashville Youth Campus for Empowerment.
