Young people are bound by complicated and arbitrary probation rules that are difficult to understand and designed to surveil, punish, and restrict youth behavior. JPAC’s model probation order offers an alternative: Three clear and developmentally appropriate conditions to create accountability that works. Youth deserve a chance to succeed.

The Juvenile Probation Accountability Coalition (JPAC) is working to move from punishment to possibility for all youth by challenging narratives of probation’s benevolence, strengthening youth rights, and centering community-based safety and healing.
