Bonnie Boswell Reports
Reimagining Juvenile Justice
Season 5
Episode 508
Some detention centers are closing due to declining numbers, as efforts to reimagine juvenile justice are gaining popularity. The idea is to help young people avoid detention or put them in supportive settings close to their families. Makeva was in and out of detention until she was 18, but caring adults changed her life—she met Akuyoe Graham through the Spirit Awakening Writing Program.
