LAST OF WERNLE'S JUVENILES TRANSFERRED OUT

(Richmond, IN)--The last of the juveniles to be housed at Wernle Youth and Family Treatment Center in Richmond is now gone.  The number of residents has dwindled over the last five years after a series of Department of Child Services sanctions and probations.  Wernle is currently maintaining a staff of about 50 people.  There has been no word on how many of those people will maintain their jobs as Wernle transitions into an outpatient facility.
