When Racial Disparity and all of its causes are eliminated justice will be the chief justice of the Iowa Supreme Court wants to end Racial Disparities among iowans who are incarcerated. Last year, chief justice cady said iowa incarcerated ninepoint four percent of the states African American men. He said that was the third highest percentage in the us. Linn, johnson and scott counties are working with Georgetown University on Juvenile Court pilot programs to eliminate Racial Disparity. Kcrgtv9s Jill Kasparie reports on the Johnson County program called ladders. Nats of dancing its not hard to find happy kids at the dream center. Here at the dream center we have homework support, we have mentoring, we have a performing arts academy. Frederick newell, who started the nonprofit, says its all about education and giving youth we are creating programs here that kind of help with making sure people dont get involved in the system. His organization isnt the only one striving to help kids. The ladders program is a team effort in Johnson County that includes law enforcement, the school district, the Juvenile Court system and the county. It focuses on the offense of disorderly conduct, which often comes with fighting. Instead of getting charged kids go through the program, which includes a Mental Health evaluation, Community Service and a writing assignment to think about their actions. So hopefully the goal is to modify that behavior so we dont see those juveniles again and at the end to keep them from committing offenses that would get them incarcerated as an adult. Just this week the Iowa City Police department expanded the program to include another charge fifth degree theft in hopes of keeping even more youth out of the system. 7 59 16 i dont know if well ever solve the disparity, but i definitely think we can make it better. Newell says ladders is a good step, but says more 8 20 30 i just felt like if somebody would hold onto them and tell them what their potential is then maybe that in themselves, a change in mindset would help our youth not to get into things that would lead them into a system like the criminal justice system. Tv9s Jill Kasparie with that story. Iowa city police say if students already have a record or if theyve been through ladders, they will get charged with those two crimes. The chief justice says the Johnson CountyPilot Project has reduced the number of school referrals to Juvenile Court by 61percent. As we mentioned, one of those programs trying to eliminate Racial Disparity is in linn county. The Cedar Rapids School district, police, Juvenile Courts, and Big Brothers Big Sisters rolled it out this school year. Theyre focusing on finding 25 mentors for African American children who could face a troubled future. Right now we have five active matches meeting out in the community doing things together. The majority of them got matched in november or december enough time to see what difference that has made, but we are hearing positive things. School leaders refer students to big brothers, big sisters based on their absences, grades and other patterns of concern. Obrienmay says the idea is for the students to work with mentors to interrupt that pattern and turn things around. Also, during his state of the judiciary, chief justice cady pointed out another key problem to work on in iowa. He says Human Trafficking is a serious problem in iowa and we need to address it. He says we need a coordinated effort to identify the victims to provide them with the protection they need.

The fund is distributing 99thousand dollars. To five non profit organizations here in eastern iowa. One of those is united way of the dubuque area its receiving 35thousand dollars to help support volunteers. The Organization Says even though volunteers work for free, it still costs money to run the place. Some non profits pay for meals and transportatio n, or they reward volunteers with small gifts. These organizations also need money to help recruit and train new volunteers. Putting out ads or getting people engaged sometimes does cost some money to do that. So there is a cost involved.
