Home 9 Youth Justice 9 Rock County Making Progress Toward Reducing DMC ( Page 11 )
Rock County is highlighted in the latest issue of the DMC Action Network e-Newsletter, reviewing some of the progress made over the past couple of years in creating alternatives to detention, implementing sound screening and assessment practices, and reducing reoffending.  Much of this progress began under the leadership of Jason Witt, who is now the Human Services Director in La Crosse County, and the delinquency team is now being led by Lance Horozewski. Congratulations for the progress made and hopes for more to come.                               Post by Jim Moeser

Wisconsin relies far too much on incarceration and blames children for system-wide failures.

Kids Forward supports SB801/AB845, which would eliminate juvenile life without parole. This critical advancement towards a more developmentally appropriate juvenile justice system will reduce and repair harm, decrease racial disparities, increase child and family wellbeing, and increase opportunities for community-based alternatives to incarceration.
