SUMMARY:Just Prosecution: Redefining the Role of the 21st Century Prosecutor in Youth Justice Reform
DESCRIPTION:Prosecutors are arguably the most important actors in the criminal justice system. They decide who to charge\, what to charge\, which cases will be diverted\, which deals to offer and which cases proceed to trial. Yet\, our conversations on mass incarceration and youth justice reform have largely centered on policing tactics and sentencing laws with limited attention drawn to the power of prosecutors to determine case outcomes in ways most other criminal justice actors cannot. \nHowever\, a recent wave of reform minded prosecutors taking office in cities like Chicago\, Houston\, Philadelphia\, New York City and elsewhere has ignited a national discussion on the critical role prosecutors can play in effectuating sustainable change that will make our communities safer and our criminal justice system fairer. \nJoin us  to learn how progressive prosecutors are using evidence based strategies to advance innovative practices in the prosecution of young people and explore opportunities for collaboration between prosecutors and advocated work to reform youth justice. \nJoin us:\nNovember 14\, 2018\n12:00 p.m. – 4:30 p.m. \nJohn Jay College of Criminal Justice\nStudent Dining Hall\n524 West 59th Street\nNew York\, NY 10019 \nRegistration is now closed. \n  \n

SUMMARY:Pinkerton Symposium: Credible Messenger Mentoring
DESCRIPTION:Join us at John Jay College of Criminal Justice for the Pinkerton Youth Justice Symposium: \n“The Intersections of Healing Justice and Credible Messenger Mentoring” \nHealing Justice is a movement that is both inwardly focused on healing from the wounds inflicted from structural oppression and outwardly focused on social change. Structural issues such as poverty\, unemployment\, underfunded schools\, incarceration\, lack of access to quality health care and poor quality housing are understood as root causes of violence and trauma\, which erode trusting relationships and severely constrain collective action and agency. There is growing recognition that hope and healing are critical to transformation and growth. This transformation requires us to address institutional causes of trauma while simultaneously building practices that promote well-being. Healing becomes a political action and well-being\, a collective necessity. \nThis discussion will be held in the 2nd Floor Dining Hall at 524 West 59th Street (between 10th and 11th avenues). \nRegistration has closed.

SUMMARY:Pinkerton Symposium: Credible Messenger Mentoring
DESCRIPTION:Join us at John Jay College of Criminal Justice for the Pinkerton Youth Justice Symposium: \n“The Intersections of Healing Justice and Credible Messenger Mentoring” \nHealing Justice is a movement that is both inwardly focused on healing from the wounds inflicted from structural oppression and outwardly focused on social change. Structural issues such as poverty\, unemployment\, underfunded schools\, incarceration\, lack of access to quality health care and poor quality housing are understood as root causes of violence and trauma\, which erode trusting relationships and severely constrain collective action and agency. There is growing recognition that hope and healing are critical to transformation and growth. This transformation requires us to address institutional causes of trauma while simultaneously building practices that promote well-being. Healing becomes a political action and well-being\, a collective necessity. \nThis discussion will be held in the 2nd Floor Dining Hall at 524 West 59th Street (between 10th and 11th avenues). \nRegistration has closed.

SUMMARY:Part 1: Credible Messenger Mentoring
DESCRIPTION:What It Is and How It Works: Credible Messenger Mentors in the Workplace\nPlease join us at John Jay College of Criminal Justice on Tuesday\, October 17th\, from 12:00pm-5:00pm\, for a conversation on Credible Messengers.  Credible messenger mentoring is a transformative group mentoring intervention for young adults in the justice system. At its heart\, men and women who were themselves justice-involved are hired to engage young people in structured and intentional relationships. Transformative mentoring relies on the hiring of credible messengers as paid mentors. Because mentors share — and have overcome —similar experiences\, including involvement in the justice system\, young people find them trustworthy. Transformative mentoring with credible messengers has been able to successfully reach young people who were disconnected from education and employment and not otherwise inclined to participate in positive youth programming. At its best\, it helps young people change their attitudes and behaviors and ultimately go on to help others\, becoming mentors themselves. \nThis discussion will be held in the 2nd Floor Dining Hall at 524 West 59th Street (between 10th and 11th avenues). Lunch will be served at 11:30am. Speakers will begin promptly at 12:00pm. \nThis symposium is generously sponsored by the Pinkerton Foundation and organized by the Pinkerton Fellowship Initiative at John Jay College. \nKeynote Speakers \n\n\n\n\n	Clinton Lacey was appointed Director of the District of Columbia Department of Youth Rehabilitation Services (DYRS)\, DC’s        cabinet-level juvenile justice agency\, in 2015.

Dir. of Friends of Island Academy. He has more than 25 years of experience working with youth and families and travels throughout the USA and abroad speaking on such issues as racial and ethnic disparity\, comprehensive re-entry services\, and overall youth and human development. Clinton has a B.A. in Latin American and Caribbean History from Herbert H. Lehman College (CUNY) and is a graduate of the Institute for Not-for-Profit Management at Columbia University. Clinton is married and the father of two sons and a daughter.\n\n\n	Ed DeJesus has served as the National Director of Workforce Development Programs and Policy at Youth Advocate Programs\, Inc. (YAP) since 2014. Prior to joining YAP\, he served Executive Director at STRIVE-DC and as Director at National Youth Employment Coalition prior to that. Over the past 30 years\, Ed has provided technical assistance and training services to more than 100 organizations. He received his BA from Fordham University and an MS in Urban Policy Analysis from the New School for Social Research.
