#ICYMI -- JPIs research team -- Jason Ziedenberg & Amanda Petteruti -- talks #StickerShock and the sky-high costs of youth incarceration: Some communities still see too many misdemeanant youth ending up confined, and need to change laws, policies and practices to screen these young people out of the system. Policymakers should identify and address these barriers consistent with the evidence, best practices and what can be learned from other jurisdictions. We know that community-based options are less expensive and can get better outcomes than confinement for many youth: Let’s take the roadblocks down and keep as many young people at home as possible.
