LRPs are designed to help young adults convicted of serious and violent crimes transition from secure detention into privately run settings in the community while still technically in custodywhere they can reconnect with family, education, and rehabilitation.
I discovered this while looking into a program housing justice-involved young adults in a residence on a university sorority row that was publicly advertised as student housing.
We should not accept it simply because these young adults are involved in the justice system.
SB 1157 is about transparency, accountability, and protecting both vulnerable young adults and the communities where they are placed.
Certainly not these young adults, and certainly not the communities we all call home.
