Keynote Speaker:

Vincent Schiraldi, Director, Youth Rehabilitation Services

Vincent N. Schiraldi brings more than 24 years of working with troubled youth and juvenile justice systems to the District of Columbia. In 2002, he founded the Justice Policy Institute (JPI), where he serves as the Executive Director. The JPI conducts research on the impact of mass incarceration and has worked collaboratively on criminal and juvenile justice campaigns in Alabama, California, Illinois, Louisiana, Maryland, and Texas.

The JPI grew out of the Center on Juvenile and Criminal Justice (CJCJ), a private, non-profit criminal/juvenile justice agency dedicated to reducing society's reliance on imprisonment as a solution to social problems, which Mr. Schiraldi founded in 1991. As Executive Director, Mr. Schiraldi supervised all phases of agency operations. Successful projects included juvenile justice programming, continuum of care programming, an alternative sentencing program, the supervised citation release program, and a supportive living program.

Prior to working with the CJCJ, Mr. Schiraldi worked with the National Center on Institutions and Alternatives, both in New York City and San Francisco for nine years. Among its successful programs was the Parole Assistance Project, which developed social service plans for 156 California Department of Corrections parolees.

Mr. Schiraldi is a recognized expert in the field of juvenile justice. He has published numerous papers and articles on the topic, and has spoken before a variety of academic and governmental audiences. He currently serves on the Board of Directors of the DC Prisoners Legal Services and served as an advisor on the Washington, DC, Blue Ribbon Commission on Youth Safety and Juvenile Justice Reform in 2001.

Mr. Schiraldi received his Masters in Social Work from New York University, and holds a Bachelor of Arts degree in Social Psychology from Binghamton University, in Binghamton, NY.
