[Chat] Fw: [coalition_bmog] VISIT Druid Park Lake Drive Juvenile Center

[Brad Schlegel]

In regards to the Juvenile Center , at the last Waverly Improvement 
Association Meeting, Staff members of this facility was present to give a 
presentation on this proposal for the Center on Greenmount ave.

The presentation explained their program and the type of juvenile offenders 
they will be helping, they expressed that they will not be accepting 
juveniles that will be a threat or a risk to the community.

I do urge you to make your own assumptions about this particular facility by 
attending one of their up and running facilities at the Druid Park Lake Dr 
Center.

If anyone is interested on going on a tour of the facilities on December 
16th please contact Public Safety Vista Destini Bowman from GHCC at 
dbowman at greaterhomewood.org and or Ms. Zarva Taru at taruz at djs.state.md.us

Isn't this the same facility that we successfully blocked from moving to
the 2300 block of Maryland Avenue a couple of months ago?

I am completely offended by this latest attempt to use the Charles
Village neighborhood as a staging ground for city services for criminals
(juvenile or otherwise). What about the efforts that are being put into
Waverly Main Street and revitalization of houses around Greenmount? And
what about the kids themselves? Lower Greenmount is not a safe place and
certainly would not provide youth with role models.

I find this another attempt by the city to move such a facility to the
cheapest land it can fine. A far better place would be in a quiet,
wooded area where there could be an actual campus that would provide
offenders with a more positive experience and even a safe, attractive
place to hang out. Roland Park, for instance, up by the private schools.

Dear Communities,

There is a proposal on the table for the Dept. of Juvenile Services to
open a Baltimore City Day and Evening Reporting Center at 2920 Greenmount
Ave. Ms. Zarva Taru, from the Baltimore City Juvenile Justice Center,
presented the idea at the Waverly Improvement Association Meeting on 
Tuesday,
December 6th. They stated that they have been in contact or will be in 
contact
with the community associations of Better Waverly, Harwood and Abell. There
will be many more meetings and public forums about this plan for everyone to
participate in.

Ms. Zarva Taru invited a small amount of community members to view the
current facility at Druid Park Lake Drive. Those who have been able to
visit the center said that it was the best way for them to understand
what they are trying to develop on Greenmount Ave.

I have arranged to take 6 community members to visit the facility on
Friday, December 16th at 7pm. Again, the facility is small so she can only
accommodate a small group at a time without disrupting the program.
Please send an email to dbowman at greaterhomewood.com or call 410-262-3510 if
you'd like to visit. (Preference will be given to diversifying community
representation.)

Thank you,
Destini K Bowman
