Quick Take Ohio: Recognizing the Journey in Ohio's Juvenile Corrections System

In January 2015, the report, Realigning Juvenile Corrections in Ohio to Reinvest in What Works was released documenting the changes that have occurred at the state-level in Ohio's juvenile justice system. Ohio has been highlighted nationally as one state that has been progressive and aggressive in its juvenile justice reforms. The report focuses on the components that came together to support the effort of reducing incarceration and creating more evidence-based alternatives for long-term community savings. Gabriella Celeste, the author of the report, provides a historical overview of the shift in Ohio, including the key fiscal elements that continue to make ongoing reform feasible.
