3. Juvenile Detention Alternative Initiative (JDAI) The Juvenile Detention Alternatives Initiative (JDAI) was designed to support the Casey Foundation’s vision that all youth involved in the juvenile justice system have opportunities to develop into healthy, productive adults. JDAI focuses on the juvenile detention component of the juvenile justice system because youth are often unnecessarily or inappropriately detained at great expense, with long-lasting negative consequences for both public safety and youth development. – JDAI promotes changes to policies, practices, and programs to: – reduce reliance on secure confinement; – improve public safety; – reduce racial disparities and bias; – save taxpayers’ dollars; and – stimulate overall juvenile justice reforms

4. Risk Assessment Instrument (RAI) – Risk screening is the process of evaluating each juvenile to determine the need for secure, locked confinement – The RAI is a point scale instruments—assigning points for various risk factors and then producing a total risk score indicating whether the child is eligible for secure detention, for a non-secure detention alternative program, or for release home.

5. Two Major Specific Risks Public Safety Risk: the risk of committing another public offense prior to adjudication and disposition of the case FTA risk: the risk of failure to appear in court after release. This risk is also sometimes referred to as flight risk.

6. Research shows that most juveniles engage in criminal behavior, but don’t continue into adulthood 6  Longitudinal studies begun in the 1950s show most juvenile offenders age out of criminal behavior  Researchers believe this is because the transition to young adulthood ‘cements’ bonds to society and deters most from continued criminality Source: Data from National Youth Survey analyzed by Hawkins, D., Smith, B. and Catalano, R. “Delinquent Behavior,” in Pediatrics in Review (2002: 23: 382-392); “Unraveling Juvenile Delinquency” (Glueck, 1963), with followup in “Crime in the Making” (Sampson and Laub, 1993) Most youth age out of criminal behavior on their own Arrested during adolescence Self-reported criminal activity, but not arrested YOUTH SELF REPORTING CRIMINAL ACTIVITY Total = 86%

7. Detention leads to worse outcomes. After release, detained youth are far more likely to drop out of school and use drugs and alcohol 7 LIKELIHOOD OF BEHAVIOR: INCARCERATED VS. NON- INCARCERATED YOUTH Youth who are detained are more than three times as likely to be found guilty and incarcerated than similarly situated peers Source: Office of State Courts Administrator, Florida Juvenile Delinquency Court Assessment (2003); LeBlanc, (1991), “Unlocking Learning” in Correctional Facilities, Washington, D.C.; Substance use, abuse, and dependence among youths who have been in jail or a detention center: The NSDUH report, The National Center on Addiction and Substance Abuse (CASA) at Columbia University, (2004); America’s Promise report on national rates of high school dropouts: www.msnbc.msn.com/id/23889321/. Blue indicates youth who have been detained and coral indicates youth who have not been detained.

16. What do the numbers say? Based on the data, there may be a number of juveniles currently admitted into the Franklin County Juvenile Detention Center who might be better served by community-based alternatives and existing programs and services in the community. In addition, the Franklin County JDAI Committee seeks to expand their detention alternatives beyond electronic monitoring, secure confinement in the JDC, and house arrest.

17. So what’s the solution? ADAMH and Juvenile Court have collaborated on this Request for Responses in order to address this community need. The result of this collaboration is the…….
