DescriptionThis study illuminates a research partnership with the Young Women’s Freedom Center (YWFC), developed through the lens of Publicly Engaged Scholarship. Through the institutional support of the YWFC, community youth co-researchers, directly impacted by juvenile incarceration, and I carried out this study. Our YPAR team conducted fifty-one life course interviews, exploring the experiences of cis and trans young women, trans young men, and gender non-conforming people as they navigated San Francisco’s juvenile delinquency system. Black, Latinx, and Pacific Islander participants ranged from 18 to 29 years of age, who grew up in San Francisco and experienced multiple institutional systems throughout their lives, the Community Experts, utilized their lived experience to identify unnecessary pathways to juvenile delinquency involvement, unethical treatment of detained youth, and possibilities for reimagining freedom for themselves and their community outside of the carceral state. In partnership with the YWFC, the YPAR team used this research to engage in local political advocacy to support the permanent shutdown of San Francisco’s Juvenile Justice Center.
