After Grace’s Story, Michigan Will Study Its Juvenile Justice System ProPublica 1 hr ago by Jodi S. Cohen, ProPublica, and Dave Boucher, Detroit Free Press This is a collaboration between ProPublica and the Detroit Free Press. Michigan Gov. Gretchen Whitmer and other state leaders on Wednesday announced the creation of a task force to improve how the state handles young offenders, saying the juvenile justice system has been failing its children. Whitmer created the Task Force on Juvenile Justice Reform and asked it to collect data from the state and its counties to better understand not only how Michigan treats juveniles who break the law, but how to reduce the number of young adults in the system and prevent them from entering it at all. Too many young people are incarcerated for noncriminal offenses, she said; a ProPublica investigation last year found Michigan does so more than almost any other state.
