Iowa Juvenile Home

The Iowa Juvenile Home/Girls State Training School (IJH/GSTS) was a correctional facility for juveniles located in Toledo, Iowa. It was a part of the Iowa Department of Human Services. It ceased operations in January 2014. It was under several Federal and State investigations, simultaneously, until becoming defunct. The outfit had severe issues related to compotent Administration (or lack thereof).

In 2013 the office of the Attorney General of Iowa attempted to redact information regarding abuse at this facility from a report. The Des Moines Register discovered the information after pasting the report in Microsoft Word.[1]
