The US incarcerates youth at alarming rates – 17 times more than France, for example. King County has greatly reduced its juvenile detention numbers since 1998 but racial disproportionality increases.

A new practice called “Community Conferencing” is being developed in Baltimore based on the traditions of the Maori culture of New Zealand. It is helping young people and their communities change their lives. Can the wisdom of the Maori and indigenous cultures worldwide help slow the flow of youth into jails? Are the lessons of New Zealand and Baltimore meaningful for King County?

                      

“Fixing Juvie Justice” is a film about transformative / restorative justice that is being shared throughout the County, including the Executive’s Office, Juvenile Court, Community and Human Services, and Adult and Juvenile Detention, YouthSource Renton– and Learning Center North!
