Changes Coming to Juvenile Court System

Changes are coming to the makeup of the West Virginia Supreme Court’s Juvenile Justice Commission. Chief Justice Margaret L. Workman announced the changes yesterday, and she established the commission in 2011. The Supreme Court says that since then, the system for housing juveniles in West Virginia has been re-evaluated, redesigned, and is monitored. The court says Workman created the commission based on the belief that more effective rehabilitation services for juveniles makes sense from humanitarian, financial and public safety perspectives.
