Recalibrating Juvenile Detention chronicles the lessons learned
from the 2007 to 2015 landmark US District Court-ordered reform of
the Cook County Juvenile Temporary Detention Center (JTDC) in
Illinois, following years of litigation by the ACLU about egregious
and unconstitutional conditions of confinement. In addition to
explaining the implications of the Court's actions, the book
includes an analysis of a major evaluation research report by the
University of Chicago Crime Lab and explains for scholars,
practitioners, administrators, policymakers, and advocates how and
why this particular reform of conditions achieved successful
outcomes when others failed. Maintaining that the Chicago Crime Lab
findings are the "gold standard" evidence-based research (EBR) in
pretrial detention, Roush holds that the observed "firsts" for
juvenile detention may perhaps have the power to transform all
custody practices. He shows that the findings validate a new model
of institutional reform based on cognitive-behavioral programming
(CBT), reveal statistically significant reductions in in-custody
violence and recidivism, and demonstrate that at least one
variation of short-term secure custody can influence positively
certain life outcomes for Chicago's highest-risk and most
disadvantaged youth. With the Quarterly Journal of Economics
imprimatur and endorsement by the President's Council of Economic
Advisors, the book is a reverse engineering of these
once-in-a-lifetime events (recidivism reduction and EBR in pretrial
detention) that explains the important and transformative
implications for the future of juvenile justice practice. The book
is essential reading for graduate students in juvenile justice,
criminology, and corrections, as well as practitioners, judges, and
policymakers.
