Saying Goodbye To The Kojo Nnamdi Show
On this last episode, we look back on 23 years of joyous, difficult and always informative conversation.
Clinton Lacey
He’s been in the job for less than a year, but Clinton Lacey has big plans for the D.C. Department of Youth Rehabilitation Services. As philosophies on criminal justice- juvenile offenders especially- swing from ‘tough on crime’ toward greater focus on mental health needs, substance abuse treatment and rehabilitation, we find out where his priorities lie. We’ll also discuss the lives behind the statistics and what success will look like, both in DYRS facilities and within communities and neighborhoods across the District.
