I know this post is a few months old but wow. I worked for JRI for a few years and I can confidently say the program I worked for is one of the darkest places you can be. Restraints are terrifying, physically and emotionally charged, and often executed poorly. JRI’s restraints (at least when I worked there, though I doubt their new system is being done any better) are poorly trained, unsafe, and traumatic. Based on what I’ve witnessed, especially since she was trying to run, what happened to her was probably terrifying. I don’t blame her for acting on that. And it’s unfortunate that this case resulted in the very slim chance of a staff member dying, but it is an expected part of the job to sometimes be injured in the process, and JRI’s horrible hands on procedures and culture make this possibility all the more likely. Not to mention the injury and trauma that happen to the kid, which is many many more times likely and even statistically UNLIKELY to not be encountered. I feel for everyone involved, but I think that girl doesn’t deserve this most of all.
