The Office of Juvenile Justice and Delinquency Prevention (OJJDP) in collaboration with the National Center for Youth in Custody (NCYC) will present “Isolation Practices With Vulnerable Populations: Impact and Alternatives,” the first Webinar in the series “Improving Conditions of Confinement for Vulnerable Populations.” While isolation is harmful and traumatic for any youth, it can be particularly traumatic for youth with disabilities and for youth who have experienced physical, sexual, or other forms of abuse. This Webinar will look at the impact of isolation practices on these vulnerable populations and identify appropriate alternatives being implemented in several jurisdictions.
