WTIC: Advocates push for juvenile justice reform

HARTFORD, CONN (WTIC Radio)- Advocates are looking to reform the juvenile justice system in Connecticut, separating incarceration

Supporters are concerned that a juvenile's past history could be used to prevent acceptance into higher education opportunities.

Another measure centers on school discipline.
