Expansion of JDAI to the Deep End Tool Kit

The following collection of documents comprise the Annie E. Casey Foundation's Tool Kit for sites working to expand the Juvenile Detention Alternatives Initiative (JDAI) to the deep end of the juvenile justice system. The Tool Kit includes overview documents, a list of developmental milestones, a contact list for relevant Foundation staff, consultants and technical assistance providers, standard scopes of work and performance measures for JDAI/deep-end sites, tools to assist with the quantitative and qualitative components of the system assessment and information about the ongoing evaluation of the Foundation’s approach to deep-end reform. In addition to this tool kit, a resource guide also is available.

Both collections will be updated frequently to add additional material, so please bookmark this page and check it often. If you need a PDF document in Word or PowerPoint form, please contact Danielle Lipow or your deep end team leader for assistance.
