Abstract
The Senate formed the Select Committee on Raise the Age to propose statutory reforms, funding priorities, and any other changes that would help the Department implement the RTA law. This report summarizes various proposals that can accomplish that goal by codifying rehabilitation’s central place in the South Carolina Children’s Code and proposing reforms at every stage of the juvenile justice process to effectuate that purpose, thereby ensuring that DJJ only has to supervise and have custody of children when necessary.
