Great job by our friends at @NCPublicSafety in tackling this important issue last week.

So, what are you doing this Wednesday? Please join us on𝐖𝐞𝐝𝐧𝐞𝐬𝐝𝐚𝐲, 𝐎𝐜𝐭𝐨𝐛𝐞𝐫 𝟐𝟏𝐬𝐭, 𝐚𝐭 𝟏𝟐:𝟎𝟎𝐩𝐦 𝐂𝐒𝐓 (𝟏:𝟎𝟎𝐩𝐦 𝐄𝐒𝐓) , for the Staff Training and Professional Development Discipline Group Meeting, led by Discipline Group Chair, Ms. Keisha Isaacs. Guest Speaker: 𝐈𝐧𝐝𝐮 𝐖𝐢𝐥𝐬𝐨𝐧, Deputy Director, Wayne County Juvenile Detention Facility Title: 𝑹𝒆𝒊𝒎𝒂𝒈𝒊𝒏𝒊𝒏𝒈 𝑫𝒆𝒕𝒆𝒏𝒕𝒊𝒐𝒏 Description: Reimagining detention starts with imagining communities where youth don't have to be surrounded by bars and walls to access what they need. What if, instead, we built communities that intentionally invite the right services, supports, mentors, education, mental health resources, and opportunities into the spaces where young people already live, learn, and grow? The goal is not simply to change detention - it is to strengthen the community around youth so they can benefit from support before, during, and long after detention.
