New York: Close Spofford Campaign
Movie Information
New York City currently operates three high security juvenile detention centers where children under the age of 16 are incarcerated. Locking up children in these facilities is expensive, harmful to their development, and actually makes it more likely they will re-offend. There are already community-based alternative to incarceration programs that better serve children without jeopardizing public safety. People who care about our children are calling on the city to Close Spofford!
