Thomas Perkins, a Republican candidate for the West Virginia House of Delegates in the 46th district, is a father of three: Jonathan (3), Lucy, and Lilly (2), residing in Frankford, West Virginia. His fight for juvenile justice reform stems from his own experience, having spent two years in the state’s custody as a child, witnessing abuse and human rights violations. Today, many juvenile treatment facilities remain unchecked, allowing children to be abused regularly and denying them their right to a quality education Perkins notes. Shockingly, some of these facilities even serve as controlled pharmaceutical testing facilities, exploiting vulnerable youth for profit, according to Perkins. Perkins is committed to shining a light on these injustices and advocating for meaningful reforms to ensure the safety and well-being of all children in state custody.
