DEPARTMENT OF JUSTICE INVESTIGATION FINDS ALASKA UNNECESSARILY INSTITUTIONALIZES
CHILDREN, VIOLATING FEDERAL LAW

The two-year investigation found that Alaska children with mental health issues
“are forced to endure unnecessary and unduly long admissions” to locked

remain in their homes and communities if sufficient services existed here, the
report said.
