The Lucas County Juvenile Detention Center in Toledo, Ohio, has 125 beds.

 

On Wednesday, only 17 of them were occupied, says Judge Denise Navarre Cubbon, of the Lucas County Juvenile Court.

Cubbon’s proud of that fact, she said at a Capitol Hill briefing on community-based alternatives to detention for youths who become involved with the juvenile justice system.

Lucas County, where incarceration of juveniles has declined steeply in recent years, provides a dramatic example of an emerging trend among jurisdictions nationwide that are moving away from locking up kids.
