In King County, we have a responsibility to pursue racial and social equity in every possible way. That’s why King County has already adopted & been working toward a goal of zero youth detention. https://www.kingcounty.gov/depts/facilities-management/major-projects-capital-planning/current-projects/children-family-justice-center/juvenile-justice.aspx …
The County has taken many steps to reduce incarceration of our young people and will continue to do even more. Ultimately, we want to ask youth in our care not “what’s wrong with you?” but “how you were you hurt?” https://www.kingcounty.gov/elected/executive/constantine/news/release/2017/November/16-juvenile-detention.aspx …
When the Children and Family Justice Center (CFJC) opens in 2020, it will offer supportive programs that will connect more youth & families to community-based services; one area initially intended to hold 32 beds has been converted to non-detention youth program space.
Thank you to those who came out to the streets and exercised your right to protest. My office has and will continue to meet with advocates and community members on juvenile justice—if you want to talk more, just ask. https://www.kingcounty.gov/about/contact-us/phone-directory.aspx …
we want to ask youth not "what's wrong with you" but "what's wrong with the system of white supremacy that tells us that jails have to exist in the first place."
