Phasing Out Juvenile Justice

David Gross/KQED
A group therapy session, called the "morning check-in," at the Chaderjian Youth Correctional Facility in Stockton.
Governor Jerry Brown has proposed phasing out the state Division of Juvenile Justice over the next three years -- a move which the Legislative Analyst's Office says could save the state more than $100 million. But critics argue the counties don't have the resources or training to take care of the state's most violent juvenile offenders.
