Sununu Center Staffing Crisis Deepens

New Hampshire’s Sununu Youth Services Center is in crisis, struggling with a severe staffing shortage despite a $1.3 million extension to keep 18 temporary counselors on duty. Even with that funding, the facility still lacks 14 full-time staff, a shortfall blamed on budget cuts. Compounding the issue are ongoing investigations into alleged abuse, illegal restraints, and lockdowns tied to staff shortages — incidents that led to injuries and police involvement. While state officials dispute some claims, the situation underscores deep systemic challenges in safely caring for youth in detention.
