Corrections
This press release from Oregon's crazy, bloated health department reveals that the terminology you may be using is no longer appropriate. From here on out, the following changes have been made:
It's not "jail" or "prison." It's a "carceral setting."
And they're not "juvenile delinquents." They're "justice-involved youth."
Please make a note of it.
Changing the name doesn’t change the fact it’s a jail/prison and they are delinquents/criminals.
ReplyDeleteAs I recall it all began in the early 90s when educators replaced the word 'problem' with 'issue.'
ReplyDeleteAnd when ‘teachers’ began calling themselves ‘educators.’
DeleteI'm sorry, but "carceral setting" is in a whole different league from that.
DeleteCheerios on the Chevy back seat ;o)
Deletepig's ear in British English
Deletenoun
something that has been badly or clumsily done; a botched job (esp in the phrase make a pig's ear of (something))
And inmates are now 'Adults in Custody.'
ReplyDeleteSo, children experiencing homelessness who have issues with legal matters concerning regulated substances may, in certain cases, become justice involved youth, on a temporary basis, until they are delivered to a drop-off center, where they can choose between living in a carceral setting and returning to experiencing homelessness, and continuing to experience regulated substances. Makes perfect sense!

ReplyDeleteAh, the ole ad homenim, jail your opponent and malign.
Delete“Jail thy opponent”. Stop sniffing glue and come back to reality. 12 jurors were presented evidence by the DA for New York. They found him guilty. He did it to himself. Screwed a porn star while Melania was recovering from having us baby. It’s called karma and she’s a bitch.
DeleteIsn't this good news? Crime will drop because of redefinition.
ReplyDeleteDecades ago, I thought it was a funny comment when the occupation of janitor was labeled sanitary engineer.
