Amazing Youth Caucus on #juvenilejustice today! @Maineinsideout and Youth Court brainstormed ideas for change & shared experiences & expertise w attendees. I had 1 question 4 Sophie, Aiden, Ali, Skye, Roone: Do you know how POWERFUL you are? #nokidsinprison #cjreform #mepolitics
Thank you, pal. We are trying so hard to get some real positive change implemented for our children. We can’t wait any longer, and neither can they. #NoKidsInPrison #juvenilejustice #cjreform #mepolitics #LD1684 @Rep_Morales @MaineMACDL @meaggiepie @jmward23 @GLADLaw @ACLUMaine
@mpgPhD I sure did! I submitted testimony for this past Monday’s hearing on this bill. @TinaHeat23 has been advocating TIRELESSLY for criminal justice reform in the Maine Legislature on behalf of @MaineMACDL & she alerted me to a hashtag it’s mind blowing we even need: #nokidsinjail
@mpgPhD @TinaHeat23 @MaineMACDL #LD1684 would bring Maine up to the absolute minimum age for prosecution laid out in the UN Convention on the Rights of the Child (which is 12) and provide periodic review for kids who are incarcerated to find ways for them recover in more effective settings. BK
This is such important legislation. Kids do not belong in prison. We can do better. Thanks to @SusanSharon1 for this coverage of the hearing on #LD1684 and thank you @Rep_Morales. @Maineinsideout @OutrightMaine @ACLUMaine @EqualityMaine #nokidsinprison https://t.co/cfV4glkmuN
Imprisoned off and on since he was 11 YEARS OLD! This needs to end. #LD1684 can’t wait b/c AI and kids like him can’t wait. #nokidsinprison #juvenilejustice #mepolitics @NoKidsInPrison @NewEnglandJDC @NatJuvDefend @NACDL @MaineNAACP @NAACP_LDF @JuvLaw1975 @verainstitute @CJJRGU
This is horrifying. Sickening. This child must be released, and he must be released NOW. This is why #LD1684 can’t wait! #NoKidsInPrison #juvenilejustice #defendchildren @northropjjc @MaineMACDL @meaggiepie @Rep_Morales @jmward23 @GLADLaw @ACLUMaine https://t.co/b5nE1Z9Fs1

Thank you for this. I have learned that tears don’t mean weakness. Many of us strong, badass, fearsome people were in tears today. That is love bubbling over. That is heartbreak being channeled into action. #LD1684 #JuvenileJustice #cjreform #mepolitics #nokidsinprison
@TinaHeat23 I'm crying along with you this morning as I fold laundry and listen to the LD1684 hearing. Thank you for speaking from your anger and love on behalf of Maine children. #mepolitics
We heard testimony for and against #LD1684 about juvenile justice reform and now the committee hearing is over. Hopefully, the judiciary committee will recommend to pass this bill and #protectLGBTQyouth. Stay tuned, we'll be delivering more testimony today! #mepolitics
Gia testifies for #LD1684: “being part of the LGBTQ community can be difficult in today’s climate, but it can also be a beautiful thing, full of laughter, and joy. But too many young people will never get to feel that love because of interactions with the current broken system.”
Mary Bonauto from @GLADLaw gives an emotional and moving testimony about a formerly-incarcerated queer youth who took his life after a harrowing experience at Long Creek. #LD1684 #mepolitics #empathynotincarceration
Whitney from @MEWomensLobby advocating on behalf of #LD1684: "94% of incarcerated youth note having experienced trauma before being incarcerated. For many of us in this field, we know that trauma is the real gateway drug, especially before the brain has developed." #mepolitics
Great coverage from the @PressHerald this morning about #LD1684, what would make changes to the juvenile justice system in Maine, including raising the minimum age for incarceration at Long Creek and providing attorneys for youth. #mepolitics
We're in Augusta today to testify in favor of this important bill. We've said it (many times) before and we'll say it again: kids don't belong in prison. https://t.co/wwMCkChu1K
If a child is struggling with behavior, the Maine Juvenile Code demands that we focus on rehabilitation with the child’s family. #LD1684 gives that purpose teeth and puts Maine in line with absolute minimum standards laid out by the UN Convention on the Rights of the Child. BK
GO TINA GO!
As I was writing testimony in support of #LD1684, it struck me as sad that we need a law to explain that children under the age of 12 can’t be prosecuted and children under 14 can’t be in jail. Maine is 1 of 13 states with no minimum age to prosecute as an adult. BK
We are ready to put the "justice" back into #juvenilejustice. Let's do this! #LD1684 #LD1670 #LD1304 #cjreform #mepolitics #cantstopwontstop @Rep_Morales @GLADLaw @ACLUMaine @meaggiepie @jmward23 @Maineinsideout @OutrightMaine @maine_youth @northropjjc https://t.co/Hrt0njKFMX
Testimony from @ACLUMaine: Kids do not belong in prison. Some teenagers may look like adults, but they're not. They're kids. Don't let an age bias cloud your judgement. #LD1684 #mepolitics
From @namimaine: The juvenile justice system was created to separate youth from the adult penal system. Maine has a rate higher than the national average for child victimization, and many of them end up at Long Creek. These are sad kids, not bad kids. #LD1684
District Attorney, @natashacirving, testifies on behalf of #LD1684 "as an attorney, and as a mother. As a prosecutor, I do not believe that a child under the age of 14 possesses the ability to understand the legal justice system."#mepolitics
Testimony from a survivor of the juvenile justice system: "I was treated as a crazed criminal instead of what I was, a little girl. The first time they brought me to Long Creek, I was 13. We need a system to help kids instead of throwing them in jail." #mepolitics #LD1684
Julia Finn, from the State of Maine Judicial Branch, to advocate in support of #LD1684 and reallocating court resources to focus on rehabilitation to have #Maineyouth spend less time in court.
Introducing #LD1684 to enact protections for #LGBTQ youth in the juvenile justice system, including having a minimum age for incarceration. Approx 7-9% if youth identify as LGBTQ, but approx. 30% of incarcerated youth in Maine are LGBTQ. #mepolitics #protectLGBTQyouth
