Officials Film Educational Video on "Juvenile" Lifer Process

On June 24, Commonwealth Media Services filmed the "juvenile" lifer support group which is held monthly at Philadelphia Community Corrections Center (CCC) #2 to gather film footage for a video project led by Deputy Secretary for Reentry Kelly Evans. The goal of the video is to educate judges and district attorneys about how the DOC is working to prepare this group of inmates for possible release from prison and to outline the continuity of care upon release, as well as the additional support and services that these individuals will continue to receive as they transition into the centers, their homes and the community. 

A filming of this same support group took place earlier this year and was used as part of a special project by WGAL-TV, Lancaster. View that special report on Pennsylvania's "juvenile" lifers on their website.
