State Task Force Will Look For Ways To Help Juvenile Offenders Avoid Jail Time, Criminal Records

Whitmer order creates juvenile justice task force

LANSING, MI (MPRN)    A task force will look for more ways to change the state’s juvenile justice system to help young offenders avoid jail time and criminal records. Governor Gretchen Whitmer signed an executive order creating the task force Wednesday. “We need to start focusing on uplifting our young Michiganders, and treat them with dignity and respect and, first and foremost, recognize that they are children,” Whitmer said. “We cannot allow an early mistake to define the rest of a child’s life, especially if it’s a non-violent offense.” A ProPublica investigation found Michigan’s has one of the nation’s highest rates of detaining minors for non-violent offenses.
