Thanks to @GaultCenter for leading this change-we are really excited to become the Gault Center New England! Language matters and we love any effort to ensure that we treat children as children no matter what! @northropjjc @jmward23 @ACLU_NH @RIACLU @theCTJA @ACLU_Mass

Check out @hausofcodec a new RI shelter for 18-24 "Building community through the arts and Educational Empowerment" because 2022 needs to bring more supportive programs like this to our communities.

“I think it’s extremely important that we don’t just discard young people who are committing offenses as individuals who aren’t deserving or worthy of a successful future." Spot on, @theCTJA! https://t.co/1ZJzXHjpKY @ffldcitizen @CTLegal @CTVoices @NoKidsInPrison @NatJuvDefend

@maine_youth, got it spot on - “Maine’s children and teenagers belong in their homes and neighborhoods, with the mental health and social support they need to be healthy and happy individuals.” @GovJanetMills, let’s finally take action on these reports! @NatJuvDefend @northropjjc

[ACLU of Maine @ACLUMaine]

An investigation by the Center for Children’s Law and Policy (CCLP) into reports of use of force at Long Creek this summer has confirmed that youth were subjected to chokeholds and prone restraints, in violation of the youth prison’s policy. https://t.co/y1unmkpRfn

Time to recognize this as a failed model. Close it down. Repurpose the money spent there to fund a different model - one that provides a true continuum of care for youth and their families. One that focuses on keeping youth in their communities. @NewEnglandJDC @NoKidsInPrison

[Gault Center New England @GaultCenterNE]

Thanks @The_CCLP for recognizing some of our incredible advocates in Maine!! Huge congrats to @jmward23 at @mainelaw and Julia Sleeper @TreeStreetYouth!! Let us know of any advocates in our other states who were honored, we’d love to hear about it! @NatJuvDefend @northropjjc

The Summit has started! Participants are already sharing their thoughts on youth incarceration in their states:

[Gault Center New England @GaultCenterNE]

It's critical to listen to youth and trust their experiences - racism is real.

"'I felt ostracized from the class, and I thought, am I really that undervalued that nothing is going to be done?' she said."
