ABOUT
OUR HISTORY
The Maryland Youth Justice Coalition was formed in 2017. We successfully supported reforms in the 2022 General Assembly to ensure that Maryland residents 17 and younger are guaranteed the protections of the Fifth Amendment to the United States Constitution (SB53) and an evidence-based omnibus reform package (SB691), endorsed by the Juvenile Justice Reform Council, that expands the use of diversion from juvenile courts, restricts the overuse of detention and confinement, limits terms of juvenile probation, and ends the prosecution of young children.
