Thank you to DOC & MYI for presenting at September's JJPOC. We are eager to continue working on reducing this population & getting our youth the adequate services they need. In the next 2 years, we will have all youth out of the Department of Correction.

On any given day, 50,000 young people are detained in prisons throughout the United States. Today included. During a normal time of joy and cheer, we must remember those youth and families who can't be together this holiday season, and that prisons are no place for children.
