[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote]The first place I would look, if I were alt-Allen (the version that wants solutions, not to turn violent rapists among others loose), is the DC Youth Rehabilitation Act. It was the previous version of his bill basically. The Post did quite a long expose on it, and on the alarming percentage of crime in this city perpetrated by youth (often ON other youth). So why the recidivism? Where the rehabilitation? Why isn't it working? What could he do to make the time period incarcerated meaningful and the supports and supervisions upon release real? [/quote]

This is the reason I won't bother contacting my council member this time.  I contacted my council member's office four years ago when a neighbor was assaulted and mugged (bludgeoned by a large rock) on our street in broad daylight by juveniles during the same period in which the Post was writing its expose on the DC Youth [b]Rehabilitation Act[/b].  Nadeau was completely uninterested in addressing any of the problems in the way the DC Youth Rehabilitation Act has been used to continually release violent offenders back onto the streets.

OMG, I am so sorry for your neighbor. The Rehabilitation Act lacks rehabilitation. The Post article was specific and actionable, but the Council could care less. Instead, they followed up with Allen's Law.[/quote]
