CONCORD, N.H. (AP) — Frustrated former residents of New Hampshire’s only youth detention center are pushing for a federal investigation into allegations of decades of abuse.

Ten former workers and an 11th who worked at a pretrial facility in Concord have been arrested, while close to 1,000 men and woman have sued the state alleging physical, sexual or emotional abuse. Several of them spoke at a rally Friday calling on the federal Department of Justice to step in.
