As we approach the possible reopening of Shuman Center, it’s clear that the path forward must prioritize the holistic development of our youth beyond mere incarceration. As an expert in program development through strategic collaboration, I advocate for integrating comprehensive supportive services for both juveniles and their families. The key to breaking the cycle of recidivism lies in addressing the root causes of youth behavior, many of which are deeply intertwined with family dynamics and trauma. I propose assigning life navigators—dedicated case managers—to each youth. These navigators will provide essential services, including partner referrals, program participation tracking, mentorship, and follow-ups for at least 6 to 12 months and beyond as needed. This structured support system ensures continuous engagement and addresses both immediate and long-term needs. Despite differing visions for the facility, it’s crucial to recognize that short-term detention does not equate to neglecting the broader needs of these young individuals. While Adelphoi focuses on immediate safety and court processing, integrating supportive services through third-party providers ensures that we don’t miss the opportunity to offer rehabilitation and positive development during this critical period. County Executive Sara Innamorato’s vision of holistic services, including mental health and educational opportunities, aligns perfectly with this approach. With the integration of wraparound services and experts, we can enhance service delivery and maintain rigorous oversight of programmatic activity and outcome metrics while addressing concerns about privatization, transparency, and accountability. Imagine the impact of a solution-based approach that transforms the Highland Detention Center from a place of mere confinement into a catalyst for positive change. By addressing trauma, supporting families, and providing continuous care through life navigators, we can foster true rehabilitation and prepare our youth for successful reintegration into society. #YouthDevelopment #JuvenileJustice #HolisticSupport #CommunityEngagement #Rehabilitation #AlleghenyCounty https://lnkd.in/eCg884Si

Over 10,000 citizens return from incarceration every week. Their transition can be extremely challenging without proper support. The Reentry Ready Resource Library from the Council of State Governments Justice Center provides vital guidance: https://lnkd.in/d4Ek7rEz The Goal: To ease their reentry journeys and give these returning citizens the second chances they deserve. #ReentryReady #SecondChances #ReentryResources #CriminalJusticeReform

Reentry is the process of reintegrating back into society after being incarcerated. It involves navigating hurdles like securing employment, finding stable housing, accessing healthcare, and rebuilding relationships, all while overcoming the stigma of a criminal record. Successful reentry is essential to reducing recidivism and helping individuals rebuild their lives. Today, millions of Americans are released from jails and prisons each year, yet many are unprepared for the complex journey ahead. The reentry process is riddled with obstacles, and despite the best efforts of many organizations, too many individuals slip through the cracks. A lack of access to the right resources and support at the right time can lead to relapse, homelessness, or a return to prison. At Honest Jobs, we're tackling this problem head-on with innovative tools like the Reentry Planner and Reentry Navigator. The Reentry Planner helps incarcerated individuals create a comprehensive plan to access fair-chance jobs, critical resources, and necessary services even before their release. The Reentry Navigator empowers reentry professionals with real-time visibility into their clients' progress, allowing them to provide tailored support that increases their chances of success. Together, these tools offer a holistic solution that bridges the gap between incarceration and successful reintegration. www.honestreentry.com #reentry #reentry2023 #probation #parole #prison #jail #corrections #appa #jobs #hiring #fairchance #secondchance

Juvenile Justice Lawyer https://bit.ly/3EBNCyE | (855) 497-2326 Juvenile Justice: Rehabilitation, Not Incarceration Youth arrests have plummeted 71% since 1996, signaling a shift in the juvenile justice system towards rehabilitation. While 423,000 cases were processed in 2021, only 52% resulted in formal charges. Importantly, 73% of incarcerated youth are held for nonviolent offenses. This reflects a growing emphasis on community-based interventions, family involvement, and educational programs to address the root causes of delinquency. Remember, the focus is on helping young people learn and grow, not simply punishing them. Recidivism rates for youth are notably lower than for adults, proving the effectiveness of this approach. If your child faces the juvenile justice system, understand their rights and the options available. We advocate for young people and work towards a brighter future. Contact us today.

#CorrectionalCommunityCenters: The Act introduces these centers, which serve as a bridge between incarceration and community life. Inmates will receive support, rehabilitation, and skills training to ease their transition back into society. Positive step towards #Reintegration!

Great piece on why we need #ParoleJusticeNY passed this year in NY -- let's pass Elder Parole and Fair and Timely Parole to reduce incarceration, build community, and prioritize healing and restoration. Money quote: "This is not just a matter of compassion. Communities?benefit?when their elders return to them from prison. Formerly incarcerated older adults can and have made important contributions to their communities, working to end gun violence, mentoring young people, serving as peer recovery counselors and promoting community safety. The alternative is leaving people to die in a cell, at ever-increasing moral and fiscal cost." https://lnkd.in/ezAGyZd3

"87% of juvenile offenders released from state-operated facilities are rearrested within three years." (worldmetric.org) After having an amazing meeting with a Hamilton County (OH) agency director, Coach Mike D.A. was galvanized to do some more research on juvenile recidivism. From his own past experience, he knew things were bad, however the stats were mind-blowing: ? Approximately 75% of juvenile offenders released from detention facilities are rearrested within three years. ? One study found that 45% of juvenile offenders were rearrested within 12 months. ? Juveniles with prior court referrals are 77% more likely to be rearrested. and list goes on. There's an obvious disconnect going on in youth and young adult programming which is not just an issue of staffing. Visit our website to learn more about one of our credible solutions.

We believe in ending mass incarceration. It causes extreme harm to individuals, families, and communities. Young people deserve resources, opportunities, and the chance to grow and thrive. "60,000 young people are incarcerated in juvenile facilities on any given day in the US." - ACLU Think about that. 60,000 young people. It's not just a number, those are lives.
