Desktop Resource Available for Youth in Confinement Practitioners
The National Partnership for Juvenile Services has produced the "Desktop Guide to Quality Practice for Working with Youth in Confinement."

This project received funding and guidance from OJJDP, the National Institute of Corrections, and the OJJDP National Center for Youth in Custody.
