ANNOTATION: This report explains how "[s]everal states have altered the fiscal architecture of their juvenile justice systems to reduce the inefficient, ineffective and sometimes damaging affect of state systems that make it cheaper to send youth to state secure care" (p.1). Sections comprising this document are: how the fiscal structure of juvenile justice funding sometimes cause youth to be sent to secure care; why it matters how many youth are sent to state institutions; five states that rationalized their fiscal architecture; Pennsylvania -- Act 148 and needs-based budgeting; California -- reducing commitments to the California Youth Authority (CYA); Wisconsin -- the Community Youth and Family Aids Program; Ohio -- RECLAIM-ing reasoned and equitable juvenile justice funding; Redeploy Illinois -- building on success; and conclusion -- rationalizing structure can reduce juvenile imprisonment, promote better outcomes, and build communities.
