Teen alleges unsafe conditions by former Natrona County juvenile detention center operator

This is a report of allegations brought by a former ward of the State of Wyoming. He accuses Frontier Correctional Systems, the former operator of the Regional Juvenile Detention Center (JDC), of subjecting him to unsafe conditions and violating the standards for humane treatment of juvenile detainees. Jennings alleges that he witnessed sexual attacks against two children while being housed in the same cell as a high-risk juvenile offender. Frontier, which was licensed by the state to operate the JDC, lacked a policy for assessing the risk level of juveniles, leading to the mixing of high- and low-risk youth, the suit states.
