    Safe Alternatives to Segregation Initiative (2016) states that before the juvenile is sent to solitary confinement Indiana calls the Crisis Awareness Response Efforts team (CARE). CARE advocates “staff shadowing” which places staff side by side with the youth for the day. A CARE team member should remain calm, speak in a low voice, maintain patience and personal space while also being objective. It is important to allow the youth time to think on their actions and if they want to continue their disruptive behavior. The purpose of the CARE team is to not discipline but to assist the youth in calming down and establishing a safe and secure environment (Safe Alternatives to Segregation Initiative, 2016).…

    A number of challenges currently face the juvenile justice reform efforts. Therefore if my state governor appointed me to a task force to help reform juvenile justice, the ten issues I would identity in need of reformation would include, mental health, youth in child welfare, closing the loophole on status offenses, juvenile indigent defense, probation, keeping kids out of adult jails, addressing racial disparities, group homes and halfway houses, day treatment programs and wilderness probation programs. The issue with mental health in juvenile justice is that over two thirds of the youth involved with the juvenile justice system experience some form of mental health problems (Smith, 2017).

    There are a myriad of services available, some more prevalent than others however, that is why it is crucial to place the youth within the right facility to ensure they will receive the care they direly need.
