Albany County Roadmap
Albany County's Roadmap to Zero Youth Detention outlines a plan to reduce and eliminate the use of secure detention for youth. It focuses on racial equity, community collaboration, public health approach, data-driven strategies, and trauma-informed practices. The plan includes recommendations for preventing youth from entering the juvenile legal system, diverting them into community-based options, supporting youth and families, and optimizing connections between systems to increase effectiveness.
