A sweeping investigation by the Miami Herald into allegations of abuse in Florida’s youth detention facilities has culminated in the release of a series of articles collectively titled Fight Club: Dark Secret’s of Florida’s Juvenile Justice System. The interactive news piece details a litany of alleged offenses within detention facilities perpetrated by justice system employees. The allegations include the setting-up of what have been termed ‘fight clubs.’
The piece was constructed by the Miami Herald I-Team, who analyzed ten years of records from the Florida Juvenile Justice System.
