There are around 30 kids in juvenile criminal custody in Travis County.
Spending more than $300 million on new youth lock-ups and juvenile courts makes no sense, in human or financial costs.
AUSTIN: Come out to Travis County Commissioner's Court on Thursday, at 1:30pm to speak out against the proposal for a new kids' jail.
