Thank you to Vivian Davis Figures for her work on juvenile justice reform. Alabama should pass HB132, which will reduce the number of kids held in custody by 21%. #alpolitics Crime and Justice Institute

Alabama's HB132 would save up $26 million for reinvestment in community-based services -- a more effective response to youth behavior. #alpolitics ACLU of Alabama Crime and Justice Institute

Thanks to legislators like @SenCamWard & Vivian Davis Figures, Alabama is considering HB132 which would ensure that AL's juvenile justice system is restorative and rehabilitative. #alpolitics

Alabama needs to address juvenile justice. #YesOnHB132 #alpolitics

Alabama incarcerates too many young people, increasing the likelihood they'll reoffend as adults and harming public safety. #YesOnHB132 #alpolitics Southern Poverty Law Center Crime and Justice Institute

Black youth are more likely to receive overly harsh punishments in Alabama's juvenile justice system than white youth. #YesOnHB132 #alpolitics Crime and Justice Institute

Juvenile justice should be restorative and rehabilitative. Reforms that keep children close to home and their families would reduce recidivism and save taxpayer money. Alabama Youth Justice Coalition #alpolitics

Alabama needs to rethink its approach to juvenile justice. Marc A. Levin 🇺🇸🇺🇦 American Legislative Exchange Council #YesOnHB132 #alpolitics

When young people are incarcerated - especially in adult facilities without youth programs - they are having their childhood stripped from them. It's vital to remember that these are children, young people with the capacity to grow, first. #NoPlaceForAChild #youthjustice
