Sinopsis

My name is Jamil Pirant and I'm calling from the Wabash Valley Correctional Facility in Indiana. I'm currently housed in a maximum facility. I've been locked up since a- a juvenile. I was waived from the juvenile court to adult court and juvenile justice reform is something that must be advocated for because the waiver process is a process that's critical to proceedings because the waiver process is something that's highly dependent upon for the juveniles to receive justice when they get to adult court. If the waiver process isn't right that means the jurisdiction that's weighed with the juvenile isn't there. Meaning that the adult court doesn't have jurisdiction to try or convict and that's a situation that I'm under. The same situation that other offenders was under and we're being ignored 100% because juvenile justice reform is something that's not advocated for. So hopefully in the near future soon it'll be something that stood up against. A system to help. Thank you. These commentaries are recorded by No
