InDepth: Central Florida Crime Crisis - Youthful Offender Program Nov. 30, 2007 - Earlier in the series, 90.7's Becky Morgan explored how the arts are being used to try to keep local kids away from a life of crime. But all too often, those and other crime prevention programs fail. So today, Becky looks at an Orange County program that's using the arts to try to rehabilitate young people who've already landed in jail. Click here to listen to story.
The Youthful Offender Program at the Orange County Jail is run by John Richter. Be sure to listen to WMFE's Arts Connection next Thursday, December 6 at 6:30 PM for more on this program. Listen to all the poems written and read by inmates at the Orange County Jail -- |
