New Program to Stem Chicago’s Violence Starts in Jail
Clip: 10/19/2016 | 7m 41sVideo has Closed Captions
A new effort to stem Chicago’s violence epidemic is starting in an interesting place.
For months, Cook County Jail has been quietly testing out a pilot program called the Sheriff’s Anti-Violence Effort, or SAVE. The idea: to intervene in the lives of young men who aren’t necessarily violent, but come from violent communities in order to prevent them from returning to jail after their release.
