Colorado state officials keep hundreds of children in juvenile detention for longer than law allows, lawsuit alleges CBS News | Mar 19, 2026 | lawsuit
A federal class-action lawsuit alleges that Colorado state officials are holding hundreds of children in juvenile detention for longer than legally allowed, despite judges deeming them releasable. The lawsuit claims that this practice harms children physically, socially, and psychologically. The plaintiffs, including two minors with disabilities, are seeking an end to this practice and the provision of community-based services instead of detention.
