New York's New Vision for Juvenile Justice | The New School

The Center for New York City Affairs presents:
A Transformative Moment? New York's New Vision for Juvenile Justice.

Major changes are afoot in juvenile justice. Governor Paterson recently proposed long-awaited reforms for upstate facilities where young teens are incarcerated. But he also proposed large cuts to alternative-to-detention and diversion programs. Meanwhile, the Bloomberg administration has merged the citys juvenile justice agency with childrens services, potentially accelerating expansion of community- and family-centered services for juvenile delinquents and other young people. What are the emerging visions? How might city, state and nonprofit agencies work together to support effective reform for children and families? A conversation about working toward meaningful change, at a time of fiscal crisis.

Gladys has no idea what it is like in a secure facility. Yet she treats murderers and rapists like "good kids." Staff continue to get assaulted by these good kids. They ar not the same residents as those in non-secure centers.
