Скачать или смотреть Avenues for Justice: An Alternative to Incarceration for Youth and Young Adults in NYC

Co-founded by Lower East Side residents, Robert Siegal and Angel Rodriguez, and incorporated in 1979, Avenues for Justice celebrates 45 Years of Second Chances this year. During the 1980's, the organization (then known as the Andrew Glover Youth Program) collaborated with (ret.) Hon. Judge Michael Corriero to launch the Youth Part model in Manhattan’s Supreme Court. A model now used nationwide, the Youth Part is where adolescents are tried separately from adults and promotes alternative to incarceration services. Throughout our 45-year history, we have maintained low recidivism rates: 94% of our court-involved Participants are not reconvicted of a new crime within 3 years of enrolling in our program. We currently serve 500 justice impacted Participants, ages 13 - 24, throughout NYC at our Manhattan courthouse offices and two community centers in Harlem and the Lower East Side.
