Closing Chihuahau Site...

Since my first trip to the Chihuahua detention centers in 2016, JJAI has been fighting for the youth of this northern Mexican state. We built partnerships with the state court, detention centers and probation offices and built trust with incarcerated youth and their families. Nearly all of our initiatives were piloted in Chihuahua state. Most recently, a revolutionary reentry model that has been integrated into the state public security agency. Our philosophy has always been to create sustainable models of reform that are embedded in the local governmental agencies and nonprofits and nowhere has this been more true than in Chihuahua....

Just released: IMPACT REPORT 2023. See how our work is expanding and how systems and lives are being transformed!

Thanks to our amazing supporters we meet our 2023 Year-End Matching goal of $10,000... and then kept going.

We raised $13,545. That's a total of $23,545 to end 2023 and launch us into a successful 2024.

Thank you for making a difference for youth in prison!

We are nearly there! Before December 31st, we need to meet our $10,000 goal, so just a few more people like you need to join us to meet our $10,000 matching donation goal. Hundreds of children in prison are waiting for a second chance. Join us in making that possible!

Most parents of incarcerated children don't have money to pay for things like soap, toothpaste, deodorant or underwear for their children.🧼🪥🧴

Gift a parent solidarity with a donation at https://www.jjadvocates.org/12days/ to help provide personal hygiene Care Packages to more children.

Childhoods are stumped by unnecessary detention. Blocking the access to leisure and sports is a violation of children's human rights.⚽️🏀🏈
