UPDATE: After YEARS of organizing, community JUST pushed the JJCC to end funding for School Based Probation + rerouted those funds for youth development across LA. $4mill out of law enforcement and into community. @UrbanPeaceInst @YouthJusticeLA @AntiRecidivism @cdfca @AHJNetwork
Word. School-based Probation places probation officers in schools to surveil kids. It receives all the dollars ($4mill to be exact) and yet there is no data, no manual, no evidence to support its existence. @LACountyBOS you ready to ask some tough questions??

"The public arguably knows more today than ever before about the prison system and its conditions, largely because of voices from inside. But those leading the charge and speaking out do so at considerable risk" - @theappeal.

We congratulate the incarcerated students who are now graduates because of the @CalStateLA program at California State Prison in Lancaster. Coming home with a degree gives formerly incarcerated people a chance to succeed & become future leaders.

.@LACountyBOS has a weird way of doing business. By weird, we mean a steady commitment to perpetuating the status quo despite motions that make you believe they want to do better. Here’s a breakdown around the battle to fund #YouthJusticeReimagined

After completing an apprenticeship with a construction company, Oswaldo Lira of @AHJNetwork was offered a job. But he said he can’t take the position, or drive to the doctor’s office with his pregnant partner because of obstacles imposed by the Citation Diversion Program.
Leah Gasser-Ordaz of @CJPUCLA talks to @TheImprintNews about her report (pdf: bit.ly/3ai125e) on the L.A. County Probation Department's Citation Diversion Program -- an "on-ramp for deeper entry into the juvenile justice system" -- which impacts youths county-wide. 👇
