As the BSCC gears up for another meeting, it's a stark reminder that LA County's juvenile system faces decades-old challenges.
Let's commit to the vision of #YouthJusticeReimagined by bringing in more credible messengers into our juvenile facilities.

In November LACountyBOS voted unanimously to create #YouthJusticeReimagined and directed LA County CEO to find $75million to launch the vision. Instead the CEO recommended over $1billion for Probation and $0 for youth development. #FreeOurFuture

L.A. County spent $800,000 to incarcerate ONE person last year. 🤯
That same money could provide a diversion path for 95 system-impacted youth or fund enrollment for 1,600 kids in youth development programs instead. 💯 #FullyFundCareFirst #YouthJusticeReimagined #CareFirstBudget
These young adults just came home from Barry J. Nidorf Juvenile Hall, DJJ, & campus Kilpatrick in the last two months. I was one of them 9 yrs ago. This is not a job, it’s our life, #YouthJusticeReimagined Supervisor Kathryn Barger Lindsey P. Horvath Holly J. Mitchell Hilda Solis Janice Hahn
