Bending the Arc: Shasta County Probation, Juvenile Justice Division: CPO Tracie Neal and DPO Ebony Higgs

In this conversation, we speak with Chief Probation Officer and Deputy Officer Ebony Higgs about the Juvenile Justice Dvision.  They share what they mean by rehabilitation, restorative justice, programs that serve youth at the Juvenile Rehabilitation Facility and those diverted from the JRF, parent programs and support, River's Edge Academy and its history, and how we might think about accountability with an eye towards transitioning well from Probation.
