Corrections chief: Youth are kept safe in adult jail

I write to take strong exception to the Sun's recent coverage of housing conditions for juveniles charged with serious felonies as adults in Baltimore's adult jail ("Youth in city jail face 'deplorable' conditions," July 29, and "Attacks among youth at Baltimore's adult jail continue," Aug. 3). Our department's Internal Investigative Unit has been investigating the offenders' allegations, and to date, no evidence has been brought to light that would substantiate them.
