It’s such a lie to call this plan “community-based, rehabilitative, and restorative”
LDC IS A NEW YOUTH PRISON
2 Feb 2021
I'm glad to see our Department of Juvenile Justice moving forward with its new community-based, rehabilitative, and restorative model by bringing a new Illinois Youth Center to Lincoln, Illinois. Learn more here: illinois.gov/idjj/Pages/defa…

“Isolating and deprivational” should be the motto for all youth jails and prisons, and those words only scratch the surface (thread ⬇️):

A committee found that the Cook County Juvenile Temporary Detention Center is "isolating and deprivational," rather than rehabilitative. Most kids and teens there spend at least 13 hours a day locked in small cells. bit.ly/3RaxsBI

Anything that subjects youth to isolation and deprivation needs to end, period. Moving youth around to new, smaller facilities that still operate on confinement and punishment is just an attempt to rebrand youth incarceration so adults feel better about it.

The only way forward is to close the youth prisons, the JTDC, and all other youth detention facilities, and invest in communities that themselves are deprived of and isolated from resources.

RT @GKMC18: This is why the work of @Final5Campaign is so important because children experience torture & isolation while incarcerated too!…

"Endless cycles of cash payouts to corporations & developers— developers building new prisons with the intention of FILLING them w/ our youth— building them w/ our money… is this what parents are funding when they pay taxes?"

If you build so many schools, libraries, affordable housing complexes- then it sounds like you don’t need the to also build a new youth prison to keep your business going. We’ll see you at 2pm @CordoganClark1
