JJ Decoded helps parents and families understand the juvenile justice system—what happens, why it happens, and what they need to know.
I'm JJ. I spent 13 years as a Program Director in Florida residential commitment programs, working directly with youth and families while overseeing staffing, programming, education, clinical services, and facility operations.
I explain juvenile justice in plain language—from detention and court proceedings to probation, commitment, residential programs, release, family involvement, and what happens when things don't go as planned.
We start with Florida, where I have firsthand experience, while making the information useful nationally and explaining where state laws and procedures differ.
Current laws and policies are sourced and identified. When I share firsthand experience, I'll make that distinction clear. This channel provides educational information, not legal advice.
