DeWine Presents Recommendations to Transform Juvenile Justice System

A working group presented nearly 30 proposed improvements

Governor Mike DeWine and the Ohio Juvenile Justice Working Group gathered Tuesday morning to announce recommendations for transforming the state and local juvenile justice system.

DeWine created the working group in November, asking members to review juvenile justice operations at the Ohio Department of Youth Services. He also wanted the group to examine the agency's partnerships with local community corrections facilities and county juvenile detention facilities.

The group issued a report with 26 recommendations for improvements. Some of the recommendations are already in progress, according to DeWine.
