A curious tale of Bowling Brook & Cheltenham juvenile correction facilities

A Curious Tale of Unequal Treatment
Kevin E. Dayhoff
As the 2010 Maryland gubernatorial contest muddles-on, comes the curious tale of two tragic incidences at separate juvenile justice system facilities, with two profoundly different results during the administration of Gov. Martin O’Malley.

In the 2006 Maryland gubernatorial campaign, one of the several contentious issues discussed was the role and function of the Department of Parole and Probation and reform the juvenile justice system.

In the years since Governor O’Malley took office, tragedy has continued to plague the juvenile justice system; and yet, the casual observer would be hard-pressed to see it in the media as a campaign issue.

At about 7:45 A.M. on a cold February 18, 2010; the partially clothed body of 65-year-old instructor Hannah E. Wheeling was found outside a lower-security program for young offenders “at the long-troubled Cheltenham Youth Facility in Prince George's County,” according a July 28, 2010 article in The Baltimore Sun.

In a February 19th account of the tragic death, The Washington Post explained: “Cheltenham is operated by the Maryland Department of Juvenile Services… The slaying is a serious setback for a juvenile facility with a checkered past…”

Five months after the murder, a few news reports indicated that a teenager, “who was 13 at the time of the incident and turned 14 in early July,” was charged with the crime.

The Baltimore Sun reported on August 20, “Employees broke safety protocol the day teacher was killed, report shows…

“A series of professional failures at the troubled Cheltenham Youth Facility in Prince George's County left a 65-year-old teacher vulnerable to attack, according to a report released Friday by the Department of Juvenile Services, which also claims to have corrected most of the issues…”

Compare this to another tragedy on a cold January 23, three years ago in 2007, when Isaiah Simmons III, age 17, died after being restrained by staff at Bowling Brook Preparatory School in Middleburg.

Although the history of Bowling Brook extends for almost two centuries, it took Maryland officials about a month to force the closure of the celebrated facility on March 2, 2007... http://www.thetentacle.com/ShowArticle.cfm?mydocid=3938

Political and presidential historians are often quick to point out that the Democratic Party is the oldest political party in the Unites States.

However, many folks may not be aware that much of the roots of the party are arguably in Maryland.

The U.S. Democratic Party, and specifically, the Maryland Democratic Party "is among the oldest, continuous existing political organizations in the world," according to a brief history of the Maryland Democratic Party written by Carroll County historian and former Maryland Secretary of State John T. Willis.

Mr. Willis is considered by many to be a nationally known authority on political history -- especially Democratic Party history.

In his historical account he notes that it was on this day in 1827, "that a meeting of Andrew Jackson supporters organized a political structure in the State designed to help one of the national founders of our Party win the PresidencyÉ"

Five years later, on May 21, 1832, the first national political convention of the Democrat Party was held in Baltimore.

According to Willis, it "was held at the Atheneum (and Warfield's Church) É located on the southwest corner of St. Paul and Lexington Streets. Twelve delegates from each county and six delegates from Baltimore City were invited to attend."

From 1832 to 1872, eight of the 12 Democrat party national conventions were held in Baltimore. Considering that two of the main routes to Baltimore, from all points west, travel through Carroll County, an historian's imagination can run wild as to what national political figures may have passed through Carroll in those days.

Fast-forwarding to the present, as the Democratic primaries draw to a close, presidential historians are looking forward to a very busy summer.

However, one portion of the drama of the longest presidential campaign in history may be coming to an anti-climatic finish, as presidential candidate and Illinois Senator Barack Obama seems to be close to a mathematical edge over his rival for the Oval Office, New York Sen. Hillary Clinton.

In one important development that made national news, just last Friday, Westminster Common Councilmember and Democratic National Convention superdelegate Greg Pecoraro endorsed Senator Obama.
