We are working with community partners to expedite releases from detention and vastly increase diversion efforts and communicating with LE regarding assessments of needs of youth confirming trauma and social emotional needs]]> 2021-06-16 18:26:08 UTC https://padlet.com/bryan291/gbntc3b36or0ds30/wish/1610605620 https://padlet.com/bryan291/gbntc3b36or0ds30/wish/1610608619 We no longer admit any misdemeanors.  We revised our warrants to quash any outstanding warrant related to a youth with a misdemeanor.  Our judges have codified the new policy revisions.  Also our state supreme court ruled that warrants should be reserved only for youth that pose a serious threat to public safety.  This has virtually eliminated warrants and forced us to create an entirely new warrant policy.

We have had serious cases where the youth gets released due to the work of our probation unit. However, sometimes the PA makes this seem like they have done us a favor and we shouldn't ask for more beyond that.]]> 2021-06-16 18:32:03 UTC https://padlet.com/bryan291/gbntc3b36or0ds30/wish/1610615468 Ongoing collaboration with other sites to learn about the strategies others are using to sustain the reductions to the detention population.
