The state’s unique practice of incarcerating youth for status offenses like running away or skipping school only deepens harm. Behind the scenes, even staff admit the system needs overhaul, with programs often mismatched and kids exposed to negative influences. Racial disparities are stark: Black youth, though a smaller share of the population, dominate detention rolls, hinting at systemic bias. Advocates urge lawmakers to pivot from punishment to prevention, investing in community support instead—but reform efforts have stalled.
