Hi, and welcome back to This Person I Met! Today's interviewee is Jen Peacock, the policy director for the Michigan Center for Youth Justice, which is an organization focused on ensuring that youth in the juvenile justice system have equitable access to qualified legal representation. To give you some background, Michigan has a “decentralized system,” which means that juvenile court services and programming are managed at the county level. This means varied application of practices and significant differences in treatment – “justice by geography.” And while the system for youth is not identical to that of the adult legal system, attorneys, administrators, prosecutors, and judges all still play major roles in influencing the outcomes of youth in the juvenile system. As Jen mentioned, one of the biggest things we can do as community members is educate ourselves – which I think applies both to juvenile justice, but also any topic, especially ones relating to social causes. You can find more information about MCYJ at miyouthjustice.org, or follow MCYJ online @mi.youth justice. Thank you so much for tuning in, and I'll see you next time!

13 youths climbed atop a youth justice facility in South Auckland on Monday night – demanding fast food, cigarettes, and a getaway car. The group made it on to the top of the Korowai Manaaki facility in Wiri just after 6.30 that night. By 9am the next day, just four remained. They came down just before noon. It's reminiscent of an incident at the same facility last year – when groups of young people climbed onto the roof. A month later, a trio of teens did it again – and in June, another group staged a rooftop standoff at a facility near Christchurch. But, who exactly are these unruly youths – and are we doing the best to care for them? Today on The Front Page, youth worker and found of Kick Back youth development  Aaron Hendry joins us to discuss these incidents.

The 'England and Wales' justice system has already been in the news for all the wrong reasons in 2024. Many years of underfunding and uneven and unsuccessful policy have left it creaking. Against a backdrop of underfunding, crumbling court estate, and widening legal deserts, the new UK Government's first major act in the sector has been to engage in widespread early release in prisons to manage capacity. It is a sector on the brink of crisis. Of course here at the Hiraeth Pod we call it the 'Wales and England' justice system and in the latest of our pods examining the reality in Wales, we're delighted to be joined by The Law Society to discuss their latest report 'From Caernarfon to Caerdydd: Re-imagining Justice in Wales 2030' that takes a Wales-centric view of these issues. We discuss the fundamental issues here, ongoing debates about devolution to bring Wales into line with Scotland and Northern Ireland, the total absence of separate data for Wales's justice sector, the legal aid crisis, and the barriers to entering the profession for poorer students. You can find a copy of the report on the Law Society's website: https://www.lawsociety.org.uk/about-us/law-society-wales/reimagining-justice-2030The Law Society Wales: https://www.lawsociety.org.uk/about-us/law-society-wales/And on LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/company/the-law-society-wales-cymdeithas-y-cyfreithwyr/ Previous podcasts about the justice system in Wales:The Welsh Criminal Justice System, on the Jagged Edge: https://youtu.be/wNBjmkh8NFEJustice and Youth Justice for Wales: https://youtu.be/RyLbtSjclcM As always, you can find the latest from us @hiraethpod on most social media, including Twitter/X here: twitter.com/HiraethPod We hope you find this podcast interesting and useful.

She feels that choosing to change your relationship with alcohol before you hit rock bottom is a powerful and positive choice to make.On December 8th, 2022 she celebrated three years of being sober.

She's quick to remind others that there's no need to feel lonely or stressed in your pursuit of recovery, and Sarah also points out that there is no boredom on the journey toward sobriety.In the early days of her recovery, she did a lot of the work quietly and without telling any of her friends and family. She felt ashamed and guilty about wanting to stop drinking but wisely took time to listen to and read other people's recovery stories and eventually found online recovery communities to be part of. Sarah felt bad because at the time she was working in Youth Justice - talking to young people about their substance use whilst not addressing her own!More about the work Sarah's doing can be found on the following online platforms:Website:  www.drinklesslivebetter.com Podcast:  https://drinklesslivebetter.captivate.fm/listen Facebook:  https://www.facebook.com/sarahwilliamson.drinklesslivebetter         https://www.facebook.com/drinklesslivebetter Instagram:  https://www.instagram.com/drinklesslivebetter acourageousrecovery.com

The third season of the organization's podcast Rewriting the Rules launched in February. Tracine Asberry is the executive director of St. Paul Youth Services and the host of the podcast. She joined MPR News host Cathy Wurzer to talk about what rules she's rewriting, respecting mothers as loving experts, bell hooks and feedback on the podcast.Use the audio player above to listen to the full conversation.Subscribe to the Minnesota Now podcast on Apple Podcasts, Google Podcasts, Spotify or wherever you get your podcasts.  We attempt to make transcripts for Minnesota Now available the next business day after a broadcast. When ready they will appear here.

After the report of Independent Commission on the Constitutional Future of Wales restated the case for devolution of justice and policing to Wales, as in Scotland and Northern Ireland (indeed, arguably England, too), it has since become part of the discourse in the Welsh Labour leadership contest. It has also revealed tensions between the UK and Welsh Labour parties as both the Shadow Secretary of State for Wales Jo Stevens and even the Deputy Leader of Welsh Labour Carolyn Harris have publicly expressed opposition to further devolution of justice and policing, while both Welsh Labour leadership candidates Vaughan Gething and Jeremy Miles have restated their commitment to the full devolution of justice and policing, if elected and leading the future Welsh Government. Why have proponents been persuaded so convincingly to pursue the creation of a Welsh justice system and legal jurisdiction and why are opponents so unwilling to contemplate it? Why did former Prime Minister Gordon Brown recommend piecemeal devolution of youth justice and probation only?

Elections attorney Mark Brewer and retired political action executive Bob LaBrant take a look at ongoing headlines surrounding Michigan's independent redistricting commission. After 13 legislative districts were ruled as racially gerrymandered, does the commission need to tidy up its operations? Also, can the districts be redrawn without impacting others?     William Lawrence, coordinator of the 'Rent is Too Damn High' coalition in Michigan, calls for the state to address both tenant rights and housing supply needs at the same time.  Additionally, Policy Director Jennifer Peacock of the Michigan Center for Youth Justice explains how for most of 2024, local governments will be preparing for multiple changes to the state's juvenile justice system, which she says aims to prevent an "over reliance on detention" following youths' offenses.

Claire de Mézerville López welcomes Kerrie Sellen to the Restorative Works! Podcast, World Conference series. This series of conversations was held during the 2023 IIRP World Conference, Building Thriving Communities, A Radical Approach Through Restorative Practices, held in Detroit, MI, October 2-4, 2023. Kerrie speaks about engaging in work with youth in Australia and dealing with the frustrations of attempting to create change in an antiquated and wholly punitive justice system. She discusses her trajectory as a restorative justice professional, creating and implementing programs with the help of work started by Terry O'Connell. Kerrie reminds us that to build meaningful connections with others, we must first do the internal work with ourselves. Kerrie has over thirty years of experience in community services including youth justice, homelessness, domestic violence, and drug and alcohol program design and delivery. She started her career with Youth Justice in South Australia including on-the-ground work in youth detention facilities and home detention roles. After experiencing what doesn't work, Kerrie established and transformed a youth organization using an explicit restorative practice framework with staff as well as clients. This resulted in Kerrie's organization being recognized and published in Business Review Weekly as Australia's 6th best workplace based on a vigorous study into workplace culture. Kerrie now works with schools, communities, and workplaces to support healthy connected cultures and reduce violence and harm when it occurs.

This week on Everyday Injustice, we are joined by Jason Smith, Executive Director of the Michigan Center for Youth Justice.

Listen as Jason Smith discusses their current legislative advocacy and projects, and the progress that has been made on age appropriate services.
