Did You Know?

During a single year, an estimated 1 million youth under the age of 18 are arrested in the United States.(1)

A majority of court-involved adolescents have recently used illegal substances.(2) Higher levels of substance use increase the rate of offending, the severity of the committed offense, and the duration of antisocial behavior.(5)

Many incarcerated youth are marginally literate or illiterate and have already experienced school failure.(4)

Recidivism is fairly high for youth under the age of 21. The average rate of rearrest for a delinquent or criminal offense is 55%, the average reconviction or readjudication rate is 33%, and the average reincarceration or reconfinement rate is 24%.(3*)

What We Do?

The Care Management Organization under Growth Works is the entity that provides case management services to juveniles who have been placed on probation by the Third Judicial Circuit Court – Family Division in Wayne County.
