John, Over the past 15 months, The Sentencing Project has published a series of reports* showing why it's important for America's youth justice systems to reduce incarceration and how to safely reduce the number of young people confined.
On January 23rd, we will convene a webinar to review this research and discuss alternatives-to-incarceration program models that work as well as systems reforms that can prevent the unnecessary incarceration of youth who pose minimal danger to public safety. Join us as we show a better way to protect the public and boost youth success by keeping kids out of institutions and working with them effectively in their homes and communities.
Speakers: - Ana Bermudez, former commissioner of the New York City Department of Probation
- Clinton Lacey, President and CEO, Credible Messenger Mentoring Movement (CM3)
