Each year thousands of youth under the age of 18, are charged as adults and consequently detained in adult detention centers where there are no services available to cater to their youth and increased potential for self betterment. More specifically, there is an absolute void of mental health programs available to the youths housed in the Baltimore City Detention Center (BCDC). In September of 2009, Jessica Turral founded Hand in Hand Baltimore, inc. in an effort to diminish that void and provide the voiceless with a face.BCDC
The Baltimore City Detention Center houses from 105-115 youth individuals with adult charges prior to trial or serving a sentence of six months or less at any given time. Seventy percent of the youth released from BCDC are returned to their communities without any resources from the Department of Juvenile Services or Department of Corrections.
THE YOUTH
HIH provides the youth with mental health and case management services continuously while at BCDC and upon their release into the community, when we create and implement individual discharge and family plans. Each youth receives a mentor with whom they are in constant contact, in addition to aftercare providers and the resources critical to maintaining a positive new lifestyle.
