The county owns a fair amount of property on Falling Creek Road. |
These aren't kids out stealing cars or that sort of thing. This isn't a criminal justice (situation). That's not who we are. ...I think that's the perception. It's just not the reality. |
These children are foster-care children. It's not a juvenile detention center. |
We have saved the county millions since its inception. |
