Title
The Last Juvie
Year
2022
Meet Dom. He’s 20 years old, and he spent three years of his childhood incarcerated at Maine’s last juvenile jail: Long Creek Youth Development Center. For years, there’s been a discussion within the Maine State Legislature about whether jail is the right place for kids who’ve committed a crime. But how do kids like Dom end up in Long Creek in the first place? And is there a world in which Maine can safely keep kids out of jail?
