Show Notes

In this episode, I examine a solution to the overcrowded youth detention centers in Washington. The state operates under a determinate sentencing scheme, where each crime carries a fixed jail or prison sentence that cannot be altered by a judge, parole board, or any other agency. Legislators should collaborate to reform the system, allowing juveniles to be sentenced on a case-by-case basis.
