            Visit to juvenile jail to see what the atmosphere is like, who works there and who is incarcerated there;

            Interview with juvenile probation officer to find out what types of offenses they mostly see and do they see a lot of repeat cases;

            Interview with adult probation officer; do they find that the people who are in the probation system as adults were also in the system as children;

            Interview with social services employee who deals with juvenile population, what issues do they see the most, are offenders mostly first time offenders or repeat offenders;

            Interview with school guidance counselor, do kids who enter probation or jail come back to school eventually? What challenges to they face? How well does the re-introduction go;

            Visit with adult offender who has been in the system since adolescence, what do they think could have been done that may have kept them out of the system;

            Interview with someone who works in transitional resources for juvenile jail; what types of programs make re-offense less likely; and

            Visit with juvenile public defender; what types of crimes do they typically see. Do they see more repeat offenders after being in probation or jail?
