Inside and Out
Safer Foundation President/CEO Diane Williams is featured as one of the interviews in this Chicago Public Radio series on juvenile justice.
What if prisons redeemed kids instead of warehousing them?
That was the mission Illinois took up three and a half years ago, when it separated juvenile prisons from adult ones.
And it’s one of the questions at the heart of WBEZ’s series Inside and Out.
We will be reporting inside the juvenile prison system to assess the state's progress in re-making its juvenile prison system. We will be asking what more needs to be done.
Over the next six months, we will also follow the stories of young people—to find out how they get caught up in the system and what happens to them when they get out.
The series will include personal stories, investigative reports, interviews, analysis, photo essays and community events. We invite you to participate in an ongoing conversation about juvenile justice.
