6 years ago today, Cornelius Fredrick was was restrained by 6 staff members of Lakeside Academy after throwing a sandwich in the cafeteria. They laid on top of him for 10 minutes while Cornelius screamed “I can’t breathe” until he lost consciousness.

We fight to get children out of youth prisons and foster group homes because they are rife with sexual abuse. This Sexual Assault Awareness Month, Director of Comms Katy Otto writes about urgency in this crisis and why all children deserve better. #SAAM jlc.org/news/justice-all-chi…

Strip searches. Shackles. Solitary confinement. Physical and sexual abuse. These are the horrors children face in youth prisons. They are robbed of critical years of their development, facing separation from their families and communities.

Very proud to be part of this beautiful group of folks. We are asking for the closure of Abraxas Academy, a facility that has long been subject to multiple abuse allegations. Abraxas Academy is currently taking money from the federal government to detain undocumented minors.

Abraxas facilities have been shut down previously in the state; we know that these carceral settings are no place for a child. local21news.com/news/local/h…

We stand with partner organizations across the state urging Governor Shapiro to use his administrative power to call for the removal of detained immigrant children at Abraxas.

As this article rightly notes, returning to failed policies of the past that lock up more kids for longer periods of time doesn't actually make our communities safe in the long run. Investment in communities and families does.

We celebrate the historic passage yesterday of @RepKrajewski bill to expand juvenile diversion and keep more children out of youth prisons. We are especially excited that the bill requires diversion programs be free for youth ensuring #debtfreejustice. pahouse.com/InTheNews/NewsRe…

My bill HB 1936 passed the Pennsylvania House yesterday. This bill strengthens fairness in our juvenile justice system by ensuring timely court hearings and preventing youth from being held without proper review. Thankful to @RepBellmon for his collaboration & leadership on this important reform.

The CSG Justice Center just released a new research-based guide, the Youth Safety Playbook to "help states prevent violence, expand opportunities, and keep youth out of the justice system."

A fairer and more effective approach is community-centered and aims to meet the health and safety needs that these kids are lacking.

Instead of defaulting to detaining children in detention and residential facilities, intervening early can make a huge difference in these kids' lives and futures. The statistics show that incarcerating children doesn't lower youth crime or adjudications.
