NASHVILLE, Tenn. — Thirteen teenagers broke out of a Nashville youth detention center and all but one were recaptured within hours, authorities said Saturday, marking the latest of a rash of security breaches at the complex.
The 13 teens overpowered a guard at the Woodland Hills Youth Development Center late Friday, the Tennessee Department of Children's Services said in a statement. It said they took the guard's radio and keys and let themselves out of a dormitory and ran to an exterior gate. It is not yet known how they got outside the fence.

The report said the dozen recaptured teens were taken to a juvenile court detention center after what was the third major disturbance in weeks at the center. Read more...
