[Indiana] Pendleton Juvenile Correctional Facility: Closing Letter 

On October 17, 2017, the DOJ closed its investigation of the Pendleton Juvenile Correctional Facility, citing improvements made to the facility. The letter states, “Most broadly, the State has made system-wide efforts to minimize incarceration of youth; to move toward a rehabilitative juvenile justice model; to increase youth’s access to community-based alternatives to incarceration; and to reduce the use of isolation. We understand that the State has reduced its juvenile facility population by more than 70% since the beginning of our involvement with the State’s juvenile justice system in  2004.”
