As courts open back up, we are seeing an uptick. pat260 https://padlet.com/bryan291/hx3thtsvqw2bjgk8/wish/1610614111 2021-06-16 18:31:08 UTC https://padlet.com/bryan291/hx3thtsvqw2bjgk8/wish/1610614111 Decrease in urban (SD) areas. Able to use differential warrants and conditionally release kids. Did not see a decrease in rural areas. Have had some very serious crimes warranting detention. Hard to navigate conversations about perception of crime increase. pat260 https://padlet.com/bryan291/hx3thtsvqw2bjgk8/wish/1610616080 2021-06-16 18:32:27 UTC https://padlet.com/bryan291/hx3thtsvqw2bjgk8/wish/1610616080 SD state leadership and some judges did not take COVID seriously. pat260 https://padlet.com/bryan291/hx3thtsvqw2bjgk8/wish/1610619117 2021-06-16 18:34:18 UTC https://padlet.com/bryan291/hx3thtsvqw2bjgk8/wish/1610619117 Athens GA: Forced judges rethink family violence override. Seeing uptick and concerns about crime post-pandemic. Racial disparities: Have not locked up a white kid so far this year. pat260 https://padlet.com/bryan291/hx3thtsvqw2bjgk8/wish/1610621309 2021-06-16 18:35:39 UTC https://padlet.com/bryan291/hx3thtsvqw2bjgk8/wish/1610621309 We are also looking at family violence overrides in South Dakota and starting "Court Resource Homes" Talking to Anna in MN. pat260 https://padlet.com/bryan291/hx3thtsvqw2bjgk8/wish/1610624311 2021-06-16 18:37:27 UTC https://padlet.com/bryan291/hx3thtsvqw2bjgk8/wish/1610624311 Service providers changed who they would accept during COVID. pat260 https://padlet.com/bryan291/hx3thtsvqw2bjgk8/wish/1610626061 2021-06-16 18:38:34 UTC https://padlet.com/bryan291/hx3thtsvqw2bjgk8/wish/1610626061 JJ Services Center: Using in-home detention, ankle bracelets. Lowest census was 90 (of 184) at the height of the pandemic. Usually 140, now at 139. Wave of detentions currently. Staffing shortage: Down 60 staff currently. pat260 https://padlet.com/bryan291/hx3thtsvqw2bjgk8/wish/1610627844 2021-06-16 18:39:38 UTC https://padlet.com/bryan291/hx3thtsvqw2bjgk8/wish/1610627844 Judges currently detaining "low hanging fruit" with minor charges. Wish that bench did not have that much power. If you create more options (respite or shelter beds), the judges will fill up both the diversion options and the justice center. pat260 https://padlet.com/bryan291/hx3thtsvqw2bjgk8/wish/1610632345 2021-06-16 18:41:59 UTC https://padlet.com/bryan291/hx3thtsvqw2bjgk8/wish/1610632345 Having state mandated youth join JJ services center. Some have committed major violent crimes. pat260 https://padlet.com/bryan291/hx3thtsvqw2bjgk8/wish/1610642368 2021-06-16 18:48:08 UTC https://padlet.com/bryan291/hx3thtsvqw2bjgk8/wish/1610642368 Disparities between white and children of color. Resources an issue. Service providers were not available to provide support such as internet or virtual meetings. Tried to use technology to connect with education. Certain areas were deemed as "better equipped" to handle technology. pat260 https://padlet.com/bryan291/hx3thtsvqw2bjgk8/wish/1610646286 2021-06-16 18:50:32 UTC https://padlet.com/bryan291/hx3thtsvqw2bjgk8/wish/1610646286 Mass- Stark disparities of youth entering system. Highest percentage were youth that were dual involved. March-Oct 2020 79% of entrant children of color and dual involved--high needs, low level. Get as many kids out as possible but high needs kids left out. Now partnering with family services to look at data. pat260 https://padlet.com/bryan291/hx3thtsvqw2bjgk8/wish/1610649478 2021-06-16 18:52:35 UTC https://padlet.com/bryan291/hx3thtsvqw2bjgk8/wish/1610649478 AL - Crossover kids: Placement becomes a larger issues. Option is only detention. Nowhere to release kids. Especially older kids not likely to get in foster home. Easier to put kids in detention. pat260 https://padlet.com/bryan291/hx3thtsvqw2bjgk8/wish/1610654070 2021-06-16 18:55:25 UTC https://padlet.com/bryan291/hx3thtsvqw2bjgk8/wish/1610654070 Absolutely similar situation in South Dakota - we have a major foster home shortage in the state and crossover kids will end up in detention way too often. pat260 https://padlet.com/bryan291/hx3thtsvqw2bjgk8/wish/1610657508 2021-06-16 18:57:40 UTC https://padlet.com/bryan291/hx3thtsvqw2bjgk8/wish/1610657508 MASS: Child social workers advocating placing kids in detention because deemed as safer than alternatives. pat260 https://padlet.com/bryan291/hx3thtsvqw2bjgk8/wish/1610657797 2021-06-16 18:57:52 UTC https://padlet.com/bryan291/hx3thtsvqw2bjgk8/wish/1610657797 Philly: Umbrella agencies. Low hanging fruit are crossover youth in detention before, during and after pandemic. Unable to find appropriate placement. Not a good mix with higher level offenders. pat260 https://padlet.com/bryan291/hx3thtsvqw2bjgk8/wish/1610659973 2021-06-16 18:59:09 UTC https://padlet.com/bryan291/hx3thtsvqw2bjgk8/wish/1610659973 Significant barriers getting judicial buy in. Screeners and systems don't matter if the judge decides otherwise. Little ability to impact. Some judges want to be seen as hard on juveniles. Huge challenge for site coordinators. pat260 https://padlet.com/bryan291/hx3thtsvqw2bjgk8/wish/1610663641 2021-06-16 19:01:33 UTC https://padlet.com/bryan291/hx3thtsvqw2bjgk8/wish/1610663641 Nobody (judges and law enforcement) wants to admit that they are biased and have biases against youth of color. pat260 https://padlet.com/bryan291/hx3thtsvqw2bjgk8/wish/1610666725 2021-06-16 19:03:36 UTC https://padlet.com/bryan291/hx3thtsvqw2bjgk8/wish/1610666725 Some of the largest changes in data happen when the bench or prosecutor changes. JDAI trained judges make a huge difference. Sending judges to in-person conferences is powerful. Not having that conference in over a year shows. pat260 https://padlet.com/bryan291/hx3thtsvqw2bjgk8/wish/1610668012 2021-06-16 19:04:26 UTC https://padlet.com/bryan291/hx3thtsvqw2bjgk8/wish/1610668012 Judges at state level conference made a big difference. pat260 https://padlet.com/bryan291/hx3thtsvqw2bjgk8/wish/1610670866 2021-06-16 19:05:43 UTC https://padlet.com/bryan291/hx3thtsvqw2bjgk8/wish/1610670866 Getting the collaborative effort back into play. Collaborative unit became dismantled due both to pandemic and lack of leadership. Need to bring players back to table and rebuild team. Petersburg VA. pat260 https://padlet.com/bryan291/hx3thtsvqw2bjgk8/wish/1610671916 2021-06-16 19:06:26 UTC https://padlet.com/bryan291/hx3thtsvqw2bjgk8/wish/1610671916 https://padlet.com/bryan291/hx3thtsvqw2bjgk8/wish/1610673010 Prosecutors used diversion WAY more than ever during the pandemic- we doubled our successful diversions across the state. We also decreased net widening practices during the pandemic like UAing youth and over contact on diversion or probation. We have use this as talking points with our diversion work groups- you can have successful diversions without over supervising!

Multiple participants echoed this. JDAI conference "sells" the approach. Collaborative learning, meet with peers, increases buy in and comfort level with changes. pat260 https://padlet.com/bryan291/hx3thtsvqw2bjgk8/wish/1610673804 2021-06-16 19:07:45 UTC https://padlet.com/bryan291/hx3thtsvqw2bjgk8/wish/1610673804 @ Annie, we are experiencing the same in Virginia with the shortage. Also facing Detention being a holding place until placements are secured. pat260 https://padlet.com/bryan291/hx3thtsvqw2bjgk8/wish/1610677836 2021-06-16 19:10:39 UTC https://padlet.com/bryan291/hx3thtsvqw2bjgk8/wish/1610677836 Technical Assistance for Crossover Youth being held in detention- Annie from SD https://padlet.com/bryan291/hx3thtsvqw2bjgk8/wish/1610678686 2021-06-16 19:11:14 UTC https://padlet.com/bryan291/hx3thtsvqw2bjgk8/wish/1610678686
