No School for Jail

The Brooklyn Paper reports that there’s been an about face in the middle school-in-a-jail proposal for the Brooklyn House of Detention:

Brooklyn Paper: Jail Middle School…: The controversial proposal to put a public middle school in the soon-to-reopen Brooklyn House of Detention was killed on Monday amid outrage after the plan was first reported in The Brooklyn Paper.

But left unanswered in the confusion about the idea was a central question: Whose idea was it in the first place?

Just as a great idea has many mothers, this bad idea appears to be an orphan.
