A message from Mark Soler, Executive Director of the Center for Children’s Law and Policy, on Covid-19. Our work continues, especially to ensure that youth who have been confined in facilities away from their families are safe and measures are being taken to release youth from custody unless they present significant danger to the community.
Today, CCLP staff members Jenny Lutz and Jason Szanyi were in Ft. Wayne, Indiana to present at the Indiana Juvenile Detention Association Annual Summit. Jason and Jenny let a workshop on reducing room confinement and the new federal laws addressing conditions in facilities that house youth. They also released a new Indiana Graduated Responses Toolkit, which captures new tools and resources from around the state and around the country. Thanks to our project partners from Elkhart, Allen, and St. Joseph's Countes and DYS. And special thanks to Chris Ball from Marion County, who joined us on her birthday to discuss her jurisdiction's work. We appreciate you! Oh, and Jenny made Jason choose a pickup truck from the rental car place, but it seems like it grew on him!
