For years, a suburban county near Nashville, Tennessee, illegally locked up children and in at least one instance used bogus charges to justify it, according to a bombshell ProPublica investigation published Friday, as part of a system that sent kids as young as seven to jail.

........

48%. That's the percentage of children who were jailed in the county after cases were referred to juvenile court in 2014—the most recent year data is available. That number was by far the most of any county in Tennessee and was a rate nearly 10 times above the state average of 5%

And everyone involved is still in place, with the only noticeable consequence is that the judge's alma mater removed her from affiliation over this past weekend and dropped her from a $2,400/year teaching gig.
