While working on the mural this past Friday, November 2nd, 2011 I noticed something unusual in the hallway. An adolescent boy ( approximately 15 years of age) was wheeled down the hall wearing an orange jump suit with a blanket covering his lap. I watched as he stood up from the wheelchair at the parking structure end of the hallway. His hands were cuffed in front at waist level. The orange jump suit had struck me as out of place. Shortly after this, another young man, blanket over hands was wheeled in the direction of the emergency room.
I was unaware that Juvenile Detention patients would be cared for at the hospital. I never really thought about it, I guess presuming that their holding location would have full medical facilities.
The hallway we are painting in is non stop action filled with a multitude of happenings!
