On December 8, 2014, the U.S. Department of Justice and the U.S. Department of Education announced the release of a Correctional Education Guidance Package to help states and local agencies strengthen the quality of education services provided to America's estimated 60,000 young people in confinement every day. This guidance package builds on recommendations in the My Brother's Keeper Task Force report released in May to "reform the juvenile and criminal justice systems to reduce unnecessary interactions for youth and to enforce the rights of incarcerated youth to a quality education."
