Expansion of JDAI to the Deep End Resource Guide

The fol­low­ing col­lec­tion of doc­u­ments com­prise the Annie E. Casey Foun­da­tion’s Resource Guide for sites work­ing to expand the Juve­nile Deten­tion Alter­na­tives Ini­tia­tive (JDAI) to the deep end of the juve­nile jus­tice sys­tem. The Resource Guide is orga­nized accord­ing to the six core val­ues and six deci­sion-points that pro­vide the frame­work for the Foundation’s approach to deep-end reform. In addi­tion to this Resource Guide, a tool kit also is available.

Both col­lec­tions will be updat­ed fre­quent­ly to add addi­tion­al mate­r­i­al, so please book­mark this page and check it often. If you would like to sug­gest an addi­tion to the Resource Guide, please con­tact Danielle Lipow and attach or describe the resource you have in mind.
