2. Getting to Know Who is at the Table • Two truths • One Lie • Your Agency

3. Juvenile Detention Alternative Initiative (JDAI) • The Juvenile Detention Alternatives Initiative (JDAI) was designed to support the Casey Foundation’s vision that all youth involved in the juvenile justice system have opportunities to develop into healthy, productive adults. • JDAI focuses on the juvenile detention component of the juvenile justice system because youth are often unnecessarily or inappropriately detained at great expense, with long-lasting negative consequences for both public safety and youth development. • JDAI promotes changes to policies, practices, and programs to: • reduce reliance on secure confinement; • improve public safety; • reduce racial disparities and bias; • save taxpayers’ dollars; and • stimulate overall juvenile justice reforms

4. Risk Assessment Instrument (RAI) • Risk screening is the process of evaluating each juvenile to determine the need for secure, locked confinement • The RAI is a point scale instruments—assigning points for various risk factors and then producing a total risk score indicating whether the child is eligible for secure detention, for a non-secure detention alternative program, or for release home.

5. Two Major Specific Risks • Public Safety Risk: the risk of committing another public offense prior to adjudication and disposition of the case • FTA risk: the risk of failure to appear in court after release. This risk is also sometimes referred to as flight risk.

6. Research shows that most juveniles engage in criminal behavior, but don’t continue into adulthood YOUTH SELF REPORTING CRIMINAL ACTIVITY Total = 86% • Longitudinal studies begun in the 1950s show most juvenile offenders age out of criminal behavior • Researchers believe this is because the transition to young adulthood ‘cements’ bonds to society and deters most from continued criminality Most youth age out of criminal behavior on their own Arrested during adolescence Self-reported criminal activity, but not arrested Source: Data from National Youth Survey analyzed by Hawkins, D., Smith, B. and Catalano, R. “Delinquent Behavior,” in Pediatrics in Review (2002: 23: 382-392); “Unraveling Juvenile Delinquency” (Glueck, 1963), with followup in “Crime in the Making” (Sampson and Laub, 1993)

7. Detention leads to worse outcomes. After release, detained youth are far more likely to drop out of school and use drugs and alcohol LIKELIHOOD OF BEHAVIOR: INCARCERATED VS. NON-INCARCERATED YOUTH Youth who are detained are more than three times as likely to be found guilty and incarcerated than similarly situated peers Blue indicates youth who have been detained and coral indicates youth who have not been detained.

16. What do the numbers say? • Based on the data, there may be a number of juveniles currently admitted into the Franklin County Juvenile Detention Center who might be better served by community-based alternatives and existing programs and services in the community. In addition, the Franklin County JDAI Committee seeks to expand their detention alternatives beyond electronic monitoring, secure confinement in the JDC, and house arrest.

17. So what’s the solution? • ADAMH and Juvenile Court have collaborated on this Request for Responses in order to address this community need. The result of this collaboration is the……. Reception Center Intervention • Changing the Front Door • Immediate Access to Services and Resources • Supervision Through Evening Reporting • Short Term Shelter Care if necessary

19. Funding Specifics • One or more programs totaling $598,000 • This program may be eligible for a performance-based incentive of up to 10% of the ADAMH allocation amount of $200,000. Refer to Section B in part 2 of the program application for specific details. • In order to be considered for this initiative you must identify a measurable result that reflects the value and success of the program.

20. Measurable Outcomes • A measurable outcome for the program will be that 80% of the juveniles involved will not commit a new offense prior to the adjudication of the original charge(s) leading to the arrest. • The number of youth showing up for the preliminary hearing and trial/or disposition. • The percentage of youth who re-enter into the Franklin County Juvenile Court System at 6 and 12 months post discharge from our program. • The percentage of youth and families referred successfully to community based services and the number of days for referral. • The percentage of youth and families receive a treatment service from a linked provider and the length of time from referral to 1st treatment service. • AWOL rate from the evening reporting center • Length of time from initial assessment to case disposition.
