The Work That Goes Into Discharging Youth and Supporting Survivors
The final stop in the juvenile justice continuum for DYS youth is the Release Authority. The entity determines whether a youth has met the conditions of their sentence to be released from a facility and from state supervision while on parole. It also includes the Office of Victim Services, which notifies survivors of a youth's status while also giving offenders a chance to show remorse and growth through the Victim Empathy Awareness Program.
