FOX 61: Connecticut Justice Alliance hosts sessions to reform juvenile justice system
HARTFORD, Conn. — The Connecticut Justice Alliance held its third stop in its Justice and Safety for All vision session tour Tuesday in Hartford.
The sessions bring community members, young people with experience in the justice system, and state lawmakers together to discuss possibilities to address the root causes of crime and criminal justice reform as it relates to juveniles across the state.
During the sessions, attendees hear from young people with first or secondhand experience with the criminal justice system and discuss ways to better support these kids so that they are successful in getting out of the criminal justice system and leading more productive lives.
The alliance also brings state lawmakers into the conversation hoping to spur change through legislation.
