This week on The Table we're going to be talking about the COVID-19 pandemic and its impact on youth in the justice system. Since the onset of the pandemic, the Michigan Center for Youth Justice has put out two reports (linked below) detailing the changes in the youth justice system due to COVID-19. This episode covers the initial changes made as a result of the pandemic, as well as what those changes look like after some time. We discuss the positive changes made and pose some questions for thought regarding public safety and the use of incarceration for youth.
