East_Chicago_Family_Center

East Chicago Family Center During class time on Monday we visited the East Chicago Family Center. I believe that this site visit was beneficial because we got to see first hand what juvenile community corrections is like. We also got to see some of the activities that the juveniles do in these centers and how they interact with each other and their supervisors. At the East Chicago Family Center we got to see what these juveniles do when they are at the center. The juveniles were in a classroom setting answering questions and doing activities. Many of the juveniles seemed to be annoyed with some of the activities. Many of the juveniles seemed like they were there only because they had to be and were only doing the activities that they were told to do so they wouldn’t get in trouble. However, some of the juveniles seemed as if they were interested in the activities and seemed like they wanted to be there. These juveniles were participating in the activities, answering questions and seemed to talk more about their situations and why they were there. These juveniles explained what happened in their lives that caused them to commit crimes and what they were going juveniles, because, seemed, program, lives, activities, trouble, positive, men, time, questions, out, going, doing, center, wanted, two, talking, supervisors, say, role, model, make, good, friends, family, explained, east, during, choices, chicago, change, beneficial, believe, away, answering
