Connecticut Association

The Connecticut Juvenile Justice Alliance (CTJJA) is a collaborative initiative founded in November 2001, involving organizations such as the Center for Children’s Advocacy and The Tow Foundation. Its mission focuses on reducing youth involvement in the juvenile and criminal justice systems while advocating for a safer and more equitable approach for those affected.

CTJJA actively promotes alternatives to youth prisons and engages with national experts to explore effective solutions for juvenile offenders. The organization emphasizes the importance of treating young offenders appropriately within the justice system and has consistently called for reforms, including the closure of inappropriate facilities and the implementation of progressive policies like Governor Malloy's Raise the Age initiative.
