Why This Indicator Matters

Developed and supported by the Annie E. Casey Foundation, the Juvenile Detention Alternatives Initiative (JDAI) is one strategy that many communities are using to address the overuse of detention and disproportionate minority contact. JDAI focuses on eliminating inappropriate or unnecessary use of secure detention, minimizing re-arrest and failure-to-appear rates pending adjudication, ensuring appropriate conditions of confinement in secure facilities and redirecting public finances to sustain successful reforms.
