About this listen

Dr. Don English interviews Deputy Sheriff's, Thomas Mabry and Reshawd Cobbs from the San Bernardino County Sheriff's Department about the Juvenile Intervention Program (J.I.P.).

The program, started in 2001, aims to educate at-promise youth and their parents about the realities of jail and prison life. It includes a day of mentoring, parenting courses, and visits to jail and the coroner's office. The program has evolved from a "Scared Straight" approach to showing reality, and it has faced challenges like COVID-19 and the closure of a female jail facility. Success stories include youth who changed their behavior and parents who reported positive outcomes. The program emphasizes community referrals, follow-up, and the importance of rehabilitation.
