Juvenile Detention Alternative Initiative
What is JDAI?
The Juvenile Detention Alternatives Initiative (JDAI) was designed to support the Annie E Casey Foundation’s vision that all youth involved in the juvenile justice system have opportunities to develop into healthy, productive adults. The Juvenile Detention Alternatives Initiative is a detention reform and juvenile justice system improvement initiative that has demonstrated over 20 years that jurisdictions can safely reduce reliance on secure detention.
JDAI promotes changes to policies, practices and programs to:
decrease the number of youth unnecessarily detained;
reduce racial disparities and bias;
discourage failures to appear in court: and,
improve the juvenile justice system overall.
