We all want the best for Wyoming’s children. Yet, Wyoming has the highest rates of incarcerated juveniles in the nation. This typically leads to worse outcomes for young community members. When children are incarcerated, their mental and physical health, education, and employment prospects worsen—and the effects can last well into adulthood.

In partnership with Annie E. Casey Foundation, we released a report on Wyoming's Juvenile Justice system.
