The city takes action after the Philadelphia Juvenile Justice Service Center has become 'dangerously overcrowded,' leaving kids sleeping on mattresses on the floor.
“I have heard stories of kids not being sure what time it is and the only way they can be sure is what kind of food they’re being served," said Levick.Youth Empowerment for Advancement Hangout Founder Kendra Vandewater visits the kids for weekly wellness checks.
The center has a licensed capacity of 184 beds and the city says while occupancy fluctuates daily, the center exceeded capacity by 58 kids on June 5.
