In March 2022, Albany’s Zero Youth Detention Task Force issued a report and recommendations towards the goal of reducing youth detention in Albany. The task force was chaired by Dr. Alice Green, Executive Director of the Center for Law and Justice, and largely made up of four (4) working groups: the Public Health Concerns for Youth and Families Working Group; the Community Service and Education Working Group; the Current State of Juvenile Detention System Working Group; and the Racial and Ethnic Disparities Working Group.
