Across the country, policymakers are starting to address the legacy of unbalanced policies and practices that have resulted in the uniquely American phenomenon of 2.2 million people being incarcerated - a legacy that disproportionately impacts poor, young men of color. Under the leadership of Middlesex County Sheriff Peter J. Koutoujian, the Middlesex Sheriff's Office (MSO) in Massachusetts has blazed a trail for youth justice reform in the United States by partnering with the Restoring Promise initiative and the MILPA Collective. The MSO's P.A.C.T. community - People Achieving Change Together - is a repurposed housing unit, innovatively designed for young adults ages 18 to 24. P.A.C.T. opened in February 2018 as the second Restoring Promise site, and Middlesex is the first county jail to have taken this leap. Details: New York: Vera Institute of Justice, 2019. 10p.
