Lawmakers consider setting a closure date for youth prison

Lawmakers consider setting a closure date for youth prison Advocates spoke in favor of legislation calling for the closure of the Long Creek Youth Development Center. Share Advocates are asking lawmakers to commit to closing Maine’s only youth prison within two years, a step that is still opposed by the state Department of Corrections. Lawmakers are considering a resolution that would direct the department to make a plan for shutting down Long Creek Youth Development Center in South Portland by June 30, 2023. That plan would include redirecting the prison’s $18 million budget to community services outside the Department of Corrections and turning the building itself into a community center for youth. If passed, the resolution would not be binding like a law would be, but it could set the state on a course that youth activists have demanded for years.

increase font size Portland residents seek referendum to block large homeless shelter The proposal aimed at the November ballot would limit the size of new shelters to 50 people and would thwart the city s efforts to build a new, 200-bed homeless services center in Riverton. Share A group of Portland residents is pursuing a citizen initiative to limit the size of new homeless shelters and block the city’s plan for a 200-bed shelter near the Westbrook border. The proposal, which organizers hope to get on the November ballot, would limit the size of new shelters to 50 beds. That would exclude the 200-bed homeless services center planned for Portland’s Riverton neighborhood. Organizers say it will not affect the city’s existing Oxford Street Shelter, which has a capacity of 154 people.
