Once again, The Annie E. Casey Foundation has allowed the staff of Youth Today to skulk around the annual Juvenile Detention Alternatives Initiative conference, which brings together youth workers from around the country who are working with the foundation to lower the reliance on detention in juvenile justice systems.
This year’s conference is at the Renaissance Washington Hotel here in Washington and we’ll be posting updates on what’s being discussed throughout both days of meetings. Check here regularly on Thursday and Friday for the latest updates.
