"content": "\u003cp>In most California counties, if a kid gets arrested and locked up, his or her parents often get charged for some of the costs of incarceration. These fees can run up to $30 a day for juvenile hall and $17 a day for ankle-monitoring.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>State Sen. Holly Mitchell (D-Los Angeles) has introduced \u003ca href=\"http://leginfo.legislature.ca.gov/faces/billNavClient.xhtml?bill_id=201720180SB190\">SB 190\u003c/a>, a bill that aims to end these juvenile fees statewide. \u003ca href=\"http://www.ppic.org/main/publication_show.asp?i=1100\">Research shows\u003c/a> that poor kids and kids of color are more likely to end up in the juvenile justice system, so Mitchell says these fees are often charged to families who can least afford them.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"What we walked away with was that it was more onerous and more difficult on the families being subjected to the fees, versus beneficial really in any meaningful way to the counties or the probation departments,\" Mitchell says.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In addition, Mitchell points out that the way the fees are collected is also unfair and sometimes unlawful.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>For example, in Contra Costa County an internal review going back four years found more than 200 cases where it improperly charged families. Parents ended up being billed even when there had been no sustained petition in their kids' cases. That means basically the children had been found innocent, but the families still got charged.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Now the county's probation department is working to locate and refund money to these people. Improper fines come to about $58,000 for the period of internal review. Probation Chief Todd Billeci says he doesn’t know how much the outreach effort to refund that money will ultimately cost Contra Costa County.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Rebecca Brown, a criminal justice reform advocate and director of the \u003ca href=\"http://reentrysolutionsgroup.org/\">Reentry Solutions Group\u003c/a>, told county supervisors that refunding those parents isn’t enough. Brown described what one woman recently told her on the phone.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"'I work for a homeless shelter. I'm raising my grandchildren. My son was incarcerated for a year. I'm trying to pay that bill,\" Brown recounted. \"I asked her: How much was that bill? She said, '$13,000.' \"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>This woman's story illustrates another big problem with juvenile fines and fees: Counties don't properly assess parents \"ability to pay,\" according to Brown, which they are legally required to do. So, the cases where parents were unlawfully charged these fees may actually number many more than what Contra Costa's internal probe uncovered.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Meanwhile, the movement to stop charging parents juvenile fees altogether is gaining traction across the state.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In the past year, \u003ca href=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/news/2016/10/24/many-california-counties-charge-parents-high-fees-while-kids-are-locked-up/\">Contra Costa\u003c/a>, Alameda and Santa Clara counties all stopped collecting juvenile fines. This week Butte County joined them. There will be a hearing on SB 190 later this month.\u003c/p>\n\n",

Holly Mitchell (D-Los Angeles) has introduced \u003ca href=\"http://leginfo.legislature.ca.gov/faces/billNavClient.xhtml?bill_id=201720180SB190\">SB 190\u003c/a>, a bill that aims to end these juvenile fees statewide. \u003ca href=\"http://www.ppic.org/main/publication_show.asp?i=1100\">Research shows\u003c/a> that poor kids and kids of color are more likely to end up in the juvenile justice system, so Mitchell says these fees are often charged to families who can least afford them.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"What we walked away with was that it was more onerous and more difficult on the families being subjected to the fees, versus beneficial really in any meaningful way to the counties or the probation departments,\" Mitchell says.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In addition, Mitchell points out that the way the fees are collected is also unfair and sometimes unlawful.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>For example, in Contra Costa County an internal review going back four years found more than 200 cases where it improperly charged families. Parents ended up being billed even when there had been no sustained petition in their kids' cases. That means basically the children had been found innocent, but the families still got charged.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

Improper fines come to about $58,000 for the period of internal review. Probation Chief Todd Billeci says he doesn’t know how much the outreach effort to refund that money will ultimately cost Contra Costa County.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Rebecca Brown, a criminal justice reform advocate and director of the \u003ca href=\"http://reentrysolutionsgroup.org/\">Reentry Solutions Group\u003c/a>, told county supervisors that refunding those parents isn’t enough. Brown described what one woman recently told her on the phone.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"'I work for a homeless shelter. I'm raising my grandchildren. My son was incarcerated for a year. I'm trying to pay that bill,\" Brown recounted. \"I asked her: How much was that bill? She said, '$13,000.' \"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>This woman's story illustrates another big problem with juvenile fines and fees: Counties don't properly assess parents \"ability to pay,\" according to Brown, which they are legally required to do. So, the cases where parents were unlawfully charged these fees may actually number many more than what Contra Costa's internal probe uncovered.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Meanwhile, the movement to stop charging parents juvenile fees altogether is gaining traction across the state.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In the past year, \u003ca href=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/news/2016/10/24/many-california-counties-charge-parents-high-fees-while-kids-are-locked-up/\">Contra Costa\u003c/a>, Alameda and Santa Clara counties all stopped collecting juvenile fines. This week Butte County joined them. There will be a hearing on SB 190 later this month.\u003c/p>\n\n\u003c/div>\u003c/p>",

Al Perrodin, 81, faces a single misdemeanor for soliciting a prostitute in Contra Costa County.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The charge is based on allegations by Jasmine Abuslin, the teenager at the center of a widespread police exploitation scandal. Prosecutors also reviewed text and Facebook messages between Abuslin and Perrodin.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Contra Costa County District Attorney Mark Peterson said last week that Perrodin admitted to paying Abuslin for sex at a hotel in Richmond in February, 2016.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The former homicide captain \u003ca href=\"http://www.ktvu.com/news/216570749-story\" target=\"_blank\">told KTVU\u003c/a> Wednesday he did not admit to any wrongdoing. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Original post, 11 a.m. Friday Nov. 4\u003c/strong> A retired octogenarian Oakland police captain is the only officer who will face prosecution in Contra Costa County for allegations related to a law enforcement \u003ca href=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/news/tag/police-sexual-exploitation/\" target=\"_blank\">sexual exploitation case\u003c/a> affecting several Bay Area agencies, District Attorney Mark Peterson announced Friday.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>He said the \u003ca href=\"#summary\">charging decision\u003c/a> was based in part on more than 24 hours of recorded interviews that six law enforcement agencies conducted with the Richmond teen at the center of the case, Jasmine Abuslin.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"The evidence that we were given -- the information that was given to us by Ms. Abuslin herself -- does not warrant charges other than the one retired Oakland captain,\" who will be charged with engaging in prostitution, Peterson said at a press conference in Martinez.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Abuslin, who is now 19 years old, has said she had sex with some 30 law enforcement officers in the past few years, some while she was underage. She has said all the officers and deputies knew she worked in the sex trade, and some tipped her off to undercover prostitution operations or shared confidential law enforcement information with her. There are also indications that Abuslin -- whose pseudonym is Celeste Guap -- has been a victim of child sexual exploitation and trafficking in and around the East Bay since the age of 12.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"It’s reprehensible, it’s immoral, it’s inappropriate, shouldn’t be done, it’s shocking,\" Peterson said of what he characterized as consensual sex between Abuslin and law enforcement officers from around the Bay Area. \"But is it a crime?\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Prosecutors' broad review of the case focused on potential crimes involving more than a dozen officers from San Francisco, Richmond and Oakland, as well as a former deputy with the Contra Costa Sheriff's Office. Officers who knowingly had sex with Abuslin before she turned 18 could be charged with crimes, including rape. The former deputy, \u003ca href=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/news/2016/09/30/ex-contra-costa-deputy-arraigned-in-sex-exploitation-case-released-with-no-bail/\" target=\"_blank\">Ricardo Perez\u003c/a>, and Oakland police Officer \u003ca href=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/news/2016/10/21/two-more-oakland-police-officers-arraigned-on-sex-charges/\" target=\"_blank\">Giovanni LoVerde\u003c/a> are both facing charges of felony oral copulation with a minor in neighboring Alameda County.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But Contra Costa County prosecutors were unable to determine whether any sexual encounters between officers and Abuslin in their county occurred before she turned 18. And even if they could, Peterson said, it's an \"absolute defense\" if the officers reasonably believed she was an adult.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"There were no crimes involving former Deputy Perez with Ms. Abuslin except for the possible crime of her engaging in sex with him when she was under 18,\" Peterson said. \"But as I've indicated, we can't prove that charge.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Contra Costa County prosecutors also looked at charging officers for engaging in prostitution, and they are charging a yet-to-be-named former Oakland police captain with that misdemeanor for allegedly paying Abuslin for sex. But as for any other officers, the evidence did not indicate that there was an exchange of cash or anything else of value for sex, Peterson said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"She has also made statements that she’s a sex addict,\" Peterson said, \"which is an indication perhaps that she wasn’t doing this for money.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Senior Deputy District Attorney Paul Graves, who supervises the Contra Costa DA's sexual assault unit, said there was no indication that officers explicitly traded protection for sex with Abuslin.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"I’m sure that is part of her motivation,\" he said. \"If you think about it, this community failed her for a long time. A lot of people failed her. So yeah, the security of having police officers and having somebody looking out for you, absolutely, but whether that was communicated as a quid pro quo: No.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The Contra Costa district attorney's investigation found no chargeable crimes against two San Francisco police officers brought to the office's attention by SFPD's investigation. Abuslin has said she had sex with three SFPD officers, all after she turned 18.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"While the actions of the officers did not result in criminal charges, they will now undergo an administrative investigation by the SFPD Internal Affairs Division,\" a written statement released by SFPD says.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Friday's announcement marks the end of the Contra Costa district attorney's second investigation into the case. Oakland police investigators presented the office in May with a potential charge of attempted forcible sodomy against former OPD Officer Terryl Smith that allegedly occurred in Richmond. The office declined to file charges.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"What we’re talking about specifically in that case was consensual acts that took place immediately preceding this alleged attempted forcible sex act, and consensual acts that occurred immediately after this alleged attempted forcible sex act,\" Graves said. \"I'm not at liberty to disclose to you the actual facts.

She has said all the officers and deputies knew she worked in the sex trade, and some tipped her off to undercover prostitution operations or shared confidential law enforcement information with her. There are also indications that Abuslin -- whose pseudonym is Celeste Guap -- has been a victim of child sexual exploitation and trafficking in and around the East Bay since the age of 12.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"It’s reprehensible, it’s immoral, it’s inappropriate, shouldn’t be done, it’s shocking,\" Peterson said of what he characterized as consensual sex between Abuslin and law enforcement officers from around the Bay Area. \"But is it a crime?\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Prosecutors' broad review of the case focused on potential crimes involving more than a dozen officers from San Francisco, Richmond and Oakland, as well as a former deputy with the Contra Costa Sheriff's Office. Officers who knowingly had sex with Abuslin before she turned 18 could be charged with crimes, including rape. The former deputy, \u003ca href=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/news/2016/09/30/ex-contra-costa-deputy-arraigned-in-sex-exploitation-case-released-with-no-bail/\" target=\"_blank\">Ricardo Perez\u003c/a>, and Oakland police Officer \u003ca href=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/news/2016/10/21/two-more-oakland-police-officers-arraigned-on-sex-charges/\" target=\"_blank\">Giovanni LoVerde\u003c/a> are both facing charges of felony oral copulation with a minor in neighboring Alameda County.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But Contra Costa County prosecutors were unable to determine whether any sexual encounters between officers and Abuslin in their county occurred before she turned 18. And even if they could, Peterson said, it's an \"absolute defense\" if the officers reasonably believed she was an adult.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"There were no crimes involving former Deputy Perez with Ms. Abuslin except for the possible crime of her engaging in sex with him when she was under 18,\" Peterson said. \"But as I've indicated, we can't prove that charge.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Contra Costa County prosecutors also looked at charging officers for engaging in prostitution, and they are charging a yet-to-be-named former Oakland police captain with that misdemeanor for allegedly paying Abuslin for sex. But as for any other officers, the evidence did not indicate that there was an exchange of cash or anything else of value for sex, Peterson said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"She has also made statements that she’s a sex addict,\" Peterson said, \"which is an indication perhaps that she wasn’t doing this for money.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Senior Deputy District Attorney Paul Graves, who supervises the Contra Costa DA's sexual assault unit, said there was no indication that officers explicitly traded protection for sex with Abuslin.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"I’m sure that is part of her motivation,\" he said. \"If you think about it, this community failed her for a long time. A lot of people failed her. So yeah, the security of having police officers and having somebody looking out for you, absolutely, but whether that was communicated as a quid pro quo: No.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The Contra Costa district attorney's investigation found no chargeable crimes against two San Francisco police officers brought to the office's attention by SFPD's investigation. Abuslin has said she had sex with three SFPD officers, all after she turned 18.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"While the actions of the officers did not result in criminal charges, they will now undergo an administrative investigation by the SFPD Internal Affairs Division,\" a written statement released by SFPD says.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Friday's announcement marks the end of the Contra Costa district attorney's second investigation into the case. Oakland police investigators presented the office in May with a potential charge of attempted forcible sodomy against former OPD Officer Terryl Smith that allegedly occurred in Richmond. The office declined to file charges.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"What we’re talking about specifically in that case was consensual acts that took place immediately preceding this alleged attempted forcible sex act, and consensual acts that occurred immediately after this alleged attempted forcible sex act,\" Graves said. \"I'm not at liberty to disclose to you the actual facts. Out of respect for the victim, we're not going to do that. If you heard what I heard, you would understand.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The Contra Costa district attorney's decision indicates a different approach to the case than that of neighboring Alameda County, where six current and former law enforcement officers are facing a range of criminal charges.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>When she \u003ca href=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/news/2016/09/09/alameda-county-da-charges-7-cops-with-sexually-exploiting-teenager/\" target=\"_blank\">announced those charges\u003c/a> Sept. 9, Alameda County District Attorney Nancy O'Malley criticized other agencies' facilitation of Abuslin's \u003ca href=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/news/2016/09/14/teen-victim-in-cop-sex-case-freed-from-florida-jail-returning-to-bay-area/\" target=\"_blank\">travel to a rehabilitation clinic in Florida\u003c/a>, which removed a witness in the case from the state.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Peterson said Friday that his office, along with the Richmond Police Department and state Victim Compensation Board, facilitated Abuslin's short-lived stint across the country.

Alameda County prosecutors are still expected to file charges against a seventh defendant -- OPD Officer Warit Utappa.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Smith resigned from the Oakland Police Department in May, right around the same time OPD internal affairs investigators brought a more serious case to prosecutors in neighboring Contra Costa County.

The now 19-year-old woman, Jasmine Abuslin, was known at the time by the pseudonym Celeste Guap.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>That alleged encounter on Feb. 1 in Richmond's Wildcat Canyon Regional Park came between Smith's second and third search of confidential police databases. He allegedly turned the search results over to Abuslin.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The Richmond teenager has said she had sex with some 30 law enforcement officers from at least seven Bay Area agencies, some before she turned 18. She has said all of the officers knew she worked in the sex trade and sometimes traded favors in exchange for sex, including \u003ca href=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/news/2016/09/23/first-officer-arraigned-in-police-sex-exploitation-case-pleads-not-guilty/\" target=\"_blank\">tipping her off\u003c/a> to prostitution stings and \u003ca href=\"http://www.sfchronicle.com/crime/article/Teen-details-police-sex-abuse-scandal-Hurry-8332951.php?t=183ef430ea0a4808f6\" target=\"_blank\">providing her with confidential police records\u003c/a>.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

"content": "\u003cp>\u003cem>Updated Wednesday, October 26th, 9:00 a.m.\u003c/em>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>If your kid gets arrested and locked up, it turns out you (the parent) might end up footing the bill.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>This might seem strange — after all, the state doesn't charge adults for the cost of incarcerating them — but there is a little-known law that allows counties to collect money from parents for the cost of upkeep while their kids are in custody.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>One such parent is M.C., an Antioch resident who didn't want her full name used because she worries for her and her son's safety. Her 16-year-old son was charged with homicide in 2013 and was locked up in Contra Costa County's juvenile hall.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I told the detective that my son didn’t commit that crime,” M.C. said in Spanish, through a translator. “But that if he was sure, then I’d trust the police to prove that my son was guilty. And if my son did do it, then he should be responsible and he should pay.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>On the day he turned 18, he was transferred to adult detention in Martinez, and M.C. was sent a bill for 313 days in juvenile custody.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Contra Costa, like many other counties, has been collecting money from parents for the cost of upkeep while their kids are in custody.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But recent \u003ca href=\"http://jlc.org/news-room/press-releases/new-national-report-shows-rise-debtors%E2%80%99-prison-kids-implications-racial-dis\">research\u003c/a> shows that kids from low-income families are likelier than kids from wealthier families to end up in the justice system, and advocates say these fees are unfair and bad policy. On Tuesday, the county’s Board of Supervisors voted unanimously to place a moratorium on these fees.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Until now, Contra Costa has had some of the \u003ca href=\"https://prezi.com/ae3zbi66u0ve/rsg-june-28-2016-juvenile-fees/?utm_campaign=share&utm_medium=copy\">highest fees\u003c/a> in the state — up to $30 per day for juvenile hall detention and $17 per day for ankle monitoring. That means M.C. could have been billed more than $9,000 for the cost of holding her son.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>She works as a house cleaner and was already struggling to make ends meet. M.C. told the probation department she couldn’t pay the full amount, and they reduced her bill to $939.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>M.C. started paying it off when she could, about $50 a month, but she says the fees felt like an injustice. It made her “angry to see these letters arrive charging me money, and my son was locked up, and still they wanted to blame him for something he never did.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>After more than two years, all charges against her son were dropped, and he came home.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But M.C. still had to pay the probation department.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Under state law, the county had every right to do this. The \u003ca href=\"http://law.onecle.com/california/welfare/903.html\">California Welfare and Institutions Code\u003c/a> holds parents financially responsible for their kids even while in custody. The logic goes that if M.C.’s son were at home she would have to pay for the cost of clothing him and feeding him, so she should have to reimburse the county for those same costs.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“The main idea is to kind of create a sense of shared responsibility between the parents and the probation department,” said John Keene, chair of the legislative committee for the \u003ca href=\"http://www.cpoc.org/\">Chief Probation Officers of California\u003c/a>, and chief probation officer for San Mateo County. “Because when we step in, in most instances, we are stepping into that capacity as a parent when the kid become wards of the court.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Candace Andersen, chair of Contra Costa County's \u003ca href=\"http://www.co.contra-costa.ca.us/193/Board-of-Supervisors\">Board of Supervisors\u003c/a>, said her hope was that the fees would encourage parents to do a better job keeping their kids out of trouble.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“But what I’m finding is the studies are not supporting that,” she added.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>A \u003ca href=\"https://www.law.berkeley.edu/experiential/clinics/policy-advocacy-clinic/\">group\u003c/a> of students at the UC Berkeley School of Law have been studying these fees for the past three years. Their research, which was presented to the county on Tuesday, includes an analysis of Contra Costa in particular.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“We don’t think there are many compelling arguments to support these fees,” said Tim Kline, one of the Berkeley law students studying the fines. “Counties don’t make money. They’re bad for families. They don’t help kids rehabilitate and get back on track.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>One of the more startling statistics Kline's group found is the disproportionate racial aspect of these fees.

Her 16-year-old son was charged with homicide in 2013 and was locked up in Contra Costa County's juvenile hall.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I told the detective that my son didn’t commit that crime,” M.C. said in Spanish, through a translator. “But that if he was sure, then I’d trust the police to prove that my son was guilty.

On Tuesday, the county’s Board of Supervisors voted unanimously to place a moratorium on these fees.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Until now, Contra Costa has had some of the \u003ca href=\"https://prezi.com/ae3zbi66u0ve/rsg-june-28-2016-juvenile-fees/?utm_campaign=share&utm_medium=copy\">highest fees\u003c/a> in the state — up to $30 per day for juvenile hall detention and $17 per day for ankle monitoring. That means M.C. could have been billed more than $9,000 for the cost of holding her son.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>She works as a house cleaner and was already struggling to make ends meet. M.C. told the probation department she couldn’t pay the full amount, and they reduced her bill to $939.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>M.C. started paying it off when she could, about $50 a month, but she says the fees felt like an injustice. It made her “angry to see these letters arrive charging me money, and my son was locked up, and still they wanted to blame him for something he never did.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>After more than two years, all charges against her son were dropped, and he came home.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But M.C. still had to pay the probation department.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Under state law, the county had every right to do this. The \u003ca href=\"http://law.onecle.com/california/welfare/903.html\">California Welfare and Institutions Code\u003c/a> holds parents financially responsible for their kids even while in custody. The logic goes that if M.C.’s son were at home she would have to pay for the cost of clothing him and feeding him, so she should have to reimburse the county for those same costs.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“The main idea is to kind of create a sense of shared responsibility between the parents and the probation department,” said John Keene, chair of the legislative committee for the \u003ca href=\"http://www.cpoc.org/\">Chief Probation Officers of California\u003c/a>, and chief probation officer for San Mateo County. “Because when we step in, in most instances, we are stepping into that capacity as a parent when the kid become wards of the court.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Candace Andersen, chair of Contra Costa County's \u003ca href=\"http://www.co.contra-costa.ca.us/193/Board-of-Supervisors\">Board of Supervisors\u003c/a>, said her hope was that the fees would encourage parents to do a better job keeping their kids out of trouble.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“But what I’m finding is the studies are not supporting that,” she added.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>A \u003ca href=\"https://www.law.berkeley.edu/experiential/clinics/policy-advocacy-clinic/\">group\u003c/a> of students at the UC Berkeley School of Law have been studying these fees for the past three years. Their research, which was presented to the county on Tuesday, includes an analysis of Contra Costa in particular.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“We don’t think there are many compelling arguments to support these fees,” said Tim Kline, one of the Berkeley law students studying the fines. “Counties don’t make money. They’re bad for families. They don’t help kids rehabilitate and get back on track.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>One of the more startling statistics Kline's group found is the disproportionate racial aspect of these fees. For example, African-American kids are 23 times more likely than their white counterparts to be locked up.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Dan Macallair, executive director of the nonprofit \u003ca href=\"http://www.cjcj.org/index.html\">Center on Juvenile and Criminal Justice\u003c/a>, said disproportionate impacts are present statewide.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Who ends up in the juvenile justice system?” he said. “It’s kids from poverty, who grew up in poverty, who grow up in the margins of society, who come from fractured families, often disproportionately African-American, or in California, Latino.
