Monitoring Tour of IYC-Chicago December 17, 2010
|
On December 17, 2010 the John Howard Association conducted a visit of IYC-Chicago, a medium security facility for boys.

The preparation of this report was supported by the John D. and Catherine T. MacArthur Foundation’s Illinois Models for Change Initiative.
