Restraint chair ‘will be disposed of’ when civil rights lawsuit is over, Wyoming Boys’ School leadership says

Wyoming Boys' School officials have announced plans to get rid of a restraint chair once a pending civil rights lawsuit concludes, signaling a significant shift in their disciplinary practices. The chair hasn't been used since 2022, according to the Department of Family Services. This move reflects a broader national trend towards more humane treatment of incarcerated youth and underscores the importance of addressing systemic abuses in state-run facilities. The decision carries implications for how institutions approach behavioral management and civil rights compliance.
