    A Positive View of My Future!

    How do we help students find their strengths so that they see a positive way forward? Positive youth influencer can forever change the trajectory of their students’ lives for the better. Many justice engaged youth, lacked trusted adults as they began to disengage from school. In addition, some of these youth confided in negative influencers such as gangs, to help guide them through life. This contributes to the cycles of recidivism for juveniles. What does the data tell us about these youth’s positive view of their futures? We have a conversation with Dana Bunnett, Director of Kids in Common (dbunnett@kidsincommon.org) , to discuss the most recent data on these topics. We also consult Abdul Duso, National Student Life Director at College Track to find out more about sense of purpose work. Abdul gives his insight on sense of purpose work with the juvenile justice student populations.

    Punished for Learning Different! Learning Disabilities and Recidivism

    In this episode, we examine the struggles of justice engaged youth who present significant academic concerns in school. Why do so many students in the juvenile justice system possess learning disabilities? There seems to be a pattern that exists for students with learning disabilities and the juvenile justice system. Many of the students in the juvenile system are students who have dropped out of middle and high school due to a lack of appropriate supports for their learning disabilities and disengagement with curriculum materials. We have a conversation with Ron Hansen, Engineer and Juvenile Justice Commissioner to discuss these questions and so much more on Advice from the Inside Out.

    Incarcerated Parents, Reentry, and Recidivism

    How do we address both the needs of children and their incarcerated parents? How do we keep parents from recidivating? What happens to children when their parents fall back into the system? Recent studies show that approximately 5 million children (or 1 in 14) have a parent who has experienced incarceration. And the number is more staggering for 1 in 8 economically disadvantaged children and 1 in 9 African American children. These children feel both a stigma of having an incarcerated parent and they miss their parent. They need extra support to navigate their education pathways and their social emotional experiences. But, what about the incarcerated parent? What programs or services can they turn to help them become participating parents in their children’s education? One place incarcerated parents can go is to the Office of Reentry Services. We have a conversation with Chad Martens the Program Manager at the Office of Reentry Services in Santa Clara County, CA. We get Chad’s personal perspectives on the “one-stop-shop” approach to providing reentry services for clients on probation. And through our conversation we discuss solutions based approaches to changing the recidivism rate through supportive reentry programs.

    LGBTQ Justice Engaged Youth and Recidivism

    In this episode, we examine the difficulties justice engaged LGBTQ youth experience, both during and after incarceration. LGBTQ youth, particularly LGBTQ youth of color are overrepresented in the juvenile justice system. And once pushed into the juvenile justice system LGBTQ youth are at a higher risk of becoming disconnected, harassed or victims of violence. In addition, there is a gap and lack of appropriate programs that supports their re-entry into society. Different states have varying levels of supports for their justice engaged LGBTQ youth. And much more must be done to address the specific needs of these youth. We have a conversation with New York Times best-selling Author and Contributor, Dr. Kay Rivers, about reimagining re-entry for LGBTQ youth and so much more on Advice from the inside out.  www.kidsincommon.org  www.lgbtmap.org  www.prisonpolicy.org  www.youth.gov https://www.glsen.org/blog/lgbtq-youth-schools-failures-may-mean-higher-risk-criminalization  https://www.rand.org/blog/rand-review/2016/01/course-correction-the-case-for-correctional-education.html  https://harvardpolitics.com/recidivism-american-progress/ http://www.juvjustice.org/blog/lgbtq-youth-legal-system-2021 https://www.aclu.org/issues/lgbtq-rights/criminal-justice-reform-lgbtq-people Support the show

    Lived Experience: Reimagining the Job Description

    Society has been demanding change within law enforcement and corrections. Defunding the police has been a topic of deep debate and some local governments have begun shifting their budget. However, rather than defunding the police what if we reimagine what it could and should look like? To preserve our democracy, we must have law and order, so how do we find a happy medium? If we create a new “job description” for law and order, what would the responsibilities and duties look like? I have a conversation will Lilia Salinas, a retired law enforcement Officer of 33 years, and get her personal opinion on these topics and more on this episode of Advice from the Inside Out.

    Immigrant Youth, Noncitizen Families and Recidivism

    In California there are a significant number of justice engaged students who are English Language Learners, or ELL, immigrant youth or noncitizen youth. They face even more barriers that make it difficult to re-enter their communities once released from custody. Often the success of these students is dependent on strong support systems at home. These students are relied upon to translate for their parents, and play other crucial roles in translating for the family. There is sense uncertainty and uneasiness experienced by these families. And entanglement in the criminal justice system exasperates these levels of anxiety. We have a conversation with Nisreen Baroudi, the Supervising Attorney for the Juvenile Division Public Defenders Office, Santa Clara County, CA. to get her personal opinion on these topics and much more, on this episode of Advice from the Inside Out.
