The staff get sued and loses, not necessarily the workplace.Disallowing sexual abuse needs to be specifically noted, and it's not? Don't workplaces get sued for sexual stuff all the time?
But yeah, fuck private detention centers.
See, and I'm going a little bit outside my area here, so long as the employee is following the rules then you can hit the workplace. If the employee was doing something specifically not allowed and the workplace had no reasonable way to predict or stop it then the workplace just says "We would never allow that, they did it on their own, we're not responsible."
Let's say an employee is sexually harassing staff and the staff reports it, now the workplace has some liability if it happens again. But if that employee sexually assaults someone in the bathroom during his/her scheduled lunch break and it happens at a point in time where the workplace couldn't know it was ging to happen? There's no liability to the workplace.
Here, the detention centers are basically arguing that they can't predict when their staff might go apeshit on the detainees so they can't be liable for it. They're doing the best they can, don't you know.
