“Every long-term youth facility should be rehabilitative in nature. That can’t happen if a facility only offers minimal education opportunities.”- David Domenici. Kids can't get education when they're in #SolitaryConfinement @JJIEnews @BreakFree_Ed @UtahDHHS

Unshackled from terror,
To love is how we vow
That we are here,
That we are.
It is how we break free.
Happy Juneteenth everyone 🖤
