Kelly Ayotte says “a lot more work needs to be done” to improve the treatment of minors held at the state’s youth detention center, including more counseling for residents and having staff there wear bodycams repurposed from the state prison system. “Everybody has to be safe,” Ayotte told reporters Wednesday. “We need to make sure safety and accountability are married with a trauma-informed environment for the youth that are held there.” Sanchez, whose office saw its funding slashed in the current state budget, had detailed incidents of mistreatment and abuse at the Sununu Youth Services Center in a March report. Ayotte said she expects operational issues at the Sununu Center to be resolved before the state opens its new secure facility for minors on the campus of Hampstead Hospital.
