The Transformative Justice Project<br />

Eradicating Juvenile Delinquency Requires a Multi-Disciplinary Approach<br />

The Juvenile Justice system is incredibly overloaded, <strong>and</strong> Solutions-Based programs<br />

are woefully underfunded. Our precious children, therefore, particularly young people of<br />

color, often get the “swift” version of justice whenever they come into contact with the<br />

law.<br />

The way we accomplish all this is as follows:<br />

Decisions to build prison facilities are often based<br />

on elementary school test results, <strong>and</strong> our country<br />

incarcerates more of its young than any other<br />

nation on earth. So we at The Foundation labor to<br />

pull our young people out of the “school to prison”<br />

pipeline, <strong>and</strong> we then coordinate the efforts of the<br />

legal, psychological, governmental <strong>and</strong><br />

educational professionals needed to bring an end<br />

to delinquency.<br />

We also educate families, police, local businesses,<br />

elected officials, clergy, <strong>and</strong> schools <strong>and</strong> other<br />

stakeholders about transforming whole<br />

communities, <strong>and</strong> we labor to change their thinking<br />

about the causes of delinquency with the goal of<br />

helping them embrace the idea of restoration for<br />

the young people in our care who demonstrate<br />

repentance for their mistakes..<br />

1. We vigorously advocate for charges reductions, wherever possible, in the<br />

adjudicatory (court) process, with the ultimate goal of expungement or pardon, in<br />

order to maximize the chances for our clients to graduate high school <strong>and</strong><br />

progress into college, military service or the workforce without the stigma of a<br />

criminal record;<br />

2. We then enroll each young person into an Evidence-Based, Data-Driven<br />

Restorative Justice program designed to facilitate their rehabilitation <strong>and</strong><br />

subsequent reintegration back into the community;<br />

3. While those projects are operating, we conduct a wide variety of ComeUnity-<br />

ReEngineering seminars <strong>and</strong> workshops on topics ranging from Juvenile Justice<br />
