I am the Detention Expediter for the Pima County Juvenile Court Center. I hope to be able to describe what a Detention Expediter is, and the importance of having positions like this involved in the lives of children that are involved with the juvenile justice system. I am also hoping through this blog to describe a movement taking place in America dedicated on the belief that positive behavioral changes can be made in children without the use of incarcerating children in detention centers.
The Annie E. Casey Foundation is leading the way with this initiative, and their web-site is: http://www.aecf.org/Home/MajorInitiatives/JuvenileDetentionAlternativesInitiative.aspx
I hope to be able to go over what the Juvenile Detention Alternative Initiative (JDAI) is and what it isn't, at least from my perspective!
Another of the leaders in this field is the W. Haywood Burns Institute, and that organization is trying to bring justice to all, not to just some. Their web-site is;

May your 2008 be blessed in every way!
