Juvenile Escapes Bridgeport Detention Center

BRIDGEPORT, CT — A juvenile escaped the Bridgeport Juvenile Detention Center Wednesday and is still on the lam as of Friday.

An internal investigation will be performed to determine if procedures were followed, according to the Connecticut Post.

Meanwhile, the union representing officers at the facility said they are badly understaffed, which has led to staff injuries and mandatory overtime.

Police and judicial branch officials didn't name the escapee or his age.
