Louisiana Commission on Law Enforcement

There has been a 40% decline in juvenile arrests for serious offenses since 2005 – yet we are still building new prison beds.

Nearly every child who is arrested and prosecuted in Orleans Parish is represented by our Children’s Defense Team. An attorney, a social worker, an investigator, and an education advocate work continuously with each child from their first exposure to the justice system until they are free of state supervision. Through nearly 1,000 cases annually, we develop and implement comprehensive advocacy plans that defend clients’ rights and respond to the causes and consequences of arrest and incarceration.

CHILDREN’S DEFENSE TEAM

CAROL KOLINCHAK Special Counsel, Louisiana Center for Children’s Rights

“Our community is stronger when we provide all of our children with the tools to learn from their mistakes, reach their full potential, and achieve their dreams.”

DEFENDING CHILDREN

His mother found affordable housing, and Charles visits her every weekend. She is building a stable home where Charles can return in the future. But for now, the comfort and safety of the group home permits Charles to enjoy school and childhood.

Charles isn’t in a hospital anymore, and he isn’t homeless. His Louisiana Center for Children’s Rights defense team got him into in a group home where he has his own room, a ride to and from school, and three meals a day. His defense team showed the judge that he is eager to engage with his peers and happy to have a safe, reliable routine.

Then things got worse. Charles and his mother became homeless as his trial approached, spending some nights huddled under an overpass. He struggled with the pressure of his stresses, and the court ordered him to be held in a mental hospital pending trial.

His mother struggled financially and they often went without food. Desperate to help, Charles looked for a way -any way- to bring home a few extra dollars. He soon faced a series of theft charges.

Charles was just 13 when he was arrested.

Southern Education Foundation

Only 8% of children in Louisiana’s prisons are currently earning high school credits.

Last year, we enrolled 399 kids in school; secured 98 new support plans for kids struggling with educational disabilities; and represented 45 children at suspension or expulsion hearings. Success in school is one of the best protections against delinquency and jail.

Commitment to school is one of the best protections against involvement in the juvenile justice system. Through public education, policy advocacy, and direct services to protect children’s education rights, we fight for the right of every child in New Orleans to real educational opportunity. This means equal opportunity to enroll in high-performing schools, equal access to high-quality special education, and the replacement of unnecessary suspensions, expulsions, and push-outs with restorative approaches and positive behavioral supports.

ADVOCACY FOR EDUCATIONAL EQUITY

JOSH PERRY Executive Director, Louisiana Center for Children’s Rights

“Keeping children in school is about economic prosperity, because kids who don’t learn can’t work. It’s about public safety, because connection to school is a strong protective factor against delinquency. And it’s about the rights of children and families, and our fundamental commitment as a society to equal opportunity.”

THROUGH PARTNERSHIPS, PUBLIC EDUCATION, AND POLICY ADVOCACY, WE STRENGTHEN THE SYSTEMS AND BUILD THE SUPPORTS THAT KEEP VULNERABLE CHILDREN OUT OF THE JUSTICE SYSTEM.

BUILDING OPPORTUNITY

John is now enrolled in a school-based therapeutic program that better serves his needs. Just recently, we received an update from his principal: John is focused and happy, has built strong relationships with staff, including the school counselor, and has no new infractions.

When the Louisiana Center for Children’s Rights began working on John’s case, we learned that he hadn’t gone to school in weeks. His LCCR team campaigned for his readmission. They collected records, referred John to mental health counseling, and connected him with a mentoring program.

Day after day, he felt increasingly disconnected and alone. It finally became too much. John returned to school and refused to leave campus. The police were called and John was arrested.

Then the trouble started. John was acting out in class, and it wasn’t long until he received an out-ofschool suspension.

John had always loved school but, after his mother passed away, he found it progressively more difficult to follow along.

A SUCCESS STORY


When children do fall into the juvenile justice system, we monitor prison conditions to keep them safe. We advocate for the supports they need to come home successfully. And we work to keep children out of the criminal justice system. Louisiana is one of only a handful of states that always prosecutes 17 year olds as adults. And, too often, our jails hold children alongside adults. Those practices expose children to extraordinary danger – actually increasing recidivism in the long run.

We advocate at the legislature and engage community partners to build support for investment in community-based services, not unnecessary juvenile incarceration. Juvenile prison doesn’t work. It doesn’t reduce offending, it’s unsafe, and it hurts children’s life chances. It’s also staggeringly expensive – $424 per day.

The Juvenile Justice Project of Louisiana (JJPL), our policy reform arm, has almost two decades of experience using policy advocacy and impact litigation to create a safer, smaller, smarter juvenile justice system.

TRANSFORMING JUVENILE JUSTICE

Since then, a process has begun that aims to move every child from the parish prison to the juvenile detention center. And, until the last child is removed from the adult jail, LCCR will stay engaged and involved, fighting for the safety of New Orleans’ most vulnerable young people.

Following the report’s release, the New Orleans City Council passed a resolution calling on the city to stop incarcerating youth alongside adults, and instead to hold children in a best practices juvenile facility.

The report, Keep Children Out of Orleans Parish Prison, details the appalling conditions facing children in what has been called the worst large prison facility in the country: Their dangerous vulnerability to sexual and physical assault, their increased risk for suicide, and the absence of mental health care and educational supports.

In the fall of 2014, the Louisiana Center for Children’s Rights released a report urging the City of New Orleans to end its practice of incarcerating children at the notoriously violent adult prison.

In the past few years alone, New Orleans has sent more than 100 children to the adult criminal justice system for prosecution. In the vast majority of cases, these youth – some as young as fourteen – are held at the Orleans Parish Prison pending their trials.

By engaging young people in the telling of their truth, we are embodying the act of restorative justice. Viewers are encouraged to reach beyond their normal comfort levels in order to consider the physicality of confinement in these spaces and the children who inhabit them. This exhibition is a call to action, a request for concern and commitment from each viewer to become aware, support preventative measures and alternatives to this system, and investigate ways to adopt a community healing praxis.

The Joan Mitchell Center is an artist residency center developed to offer both time and space for artists to create work in a contemplative environment. In addition to the artist residency and local artist studio programming, the Center curates and produces public programming that serves the broader community of New Orleans, and endeavors to serve as an incubator, conduit and resource for partnerships in the arts.

In an environment designed to strip away all agency, art becomes a tool of survival. The act of writing, drawing, performing is an act of repossessing the body and space – no longer art for art’s sake, but an intentional and purposeful re-imagination of reality. This timely work is an invitation to reimagine the way we treat each other and, more importantly, the way we treat our children.

CeaseFire New Orleans also contributed work. Based in the Central City neighborhoods, CeaseFire uses violence interrupters and outreach workers with street credibility to interrupt and resolve potentially violent situations before they escalate.

Additional work was created by participants in the Youth Participatory Action Research project at the Institute for Women and Ethnic Studies. Youth engaged in a process to inform the development of community-driven indicators of wellness. Students conducted research and surveys to understand their peers’ experiences of oppression in New Orleans. The featured mural displays their results.

Local artwork included in the exhibition was created by students at the New Orleans Center for Creative Arts; KIPP: McDonogh 15 School for the Creative Arts; Net Charter High School; Bard Early College; and Episcopal High School. The high schoolers worked with students at UNO who are participating in the Global Dialogues on Incarceration, a project sponsored nationally by the Humanities Action Lab in New York City and locally by the Midlo Center for New Orleans Studies. The students created pieces directly responding to Ross’ work to answer the question: What would a world without prisons look like?

Myrtle Banks School.

About the Exhibit

Throughout Ross’ exploration of the juvenile system, his images of young people come into dialogue with Nell Bernstein, author of Burning Down the House: The End of Juvenile Prison. Bernstein poses a large, provocative question that is echoed in Ross’ work: Why do we have juvenile prisons? The viewer is asked to question and unearth his or her own relationship to confinement, as well About the Work as the criminalization and commodification of young people – the overwhelming majority of whom, in New Orleans’ justice system, are African American.

During the Juvenile In Justice exhibit, the viewer is invited to LOOK, LISTEN, and ACT in a series of activities that provide immersion into the ways in which the juvenile justice system impacts us all.

Richard Ross’ Juvenile In Justice provides a stark contrast to this ideal, revealing the practices of isolation, alienation, and displacement from community that define our current justice system. Ross raises awareness of the often opaque system of juvenile incarceration through his documentary-style images, which are amplified by the personal and visual narratives of local high school students.

Restorative justice is described as a system of criminal justice that focuses on the rehabilitation of offenders through reconciliation with victims and the community at large. It requires that we work to restore those who have been injured, allows agency of those most affected by crime to participate in the response, and acknowledges the government’s role to preserve public order while holding the community responsible for building and maintaining peace.

CHAPTER ONE INTRODUCTION ONE INTRODUCTION

At YSC, there is a traditional high-school setting such that all juveniles can attend school every day. The curriculum moves children toward a high school diploma, not just an equivalency test. YSC boasts a daily, structured schedule that includes school, meals, group therapy, recreation, and other programming. The schedule calls for at least 16 hours outside of the cell every day. In addition, YSC has implemented a behavior management program that rewards positive behavior. YSC staff is trained specifically to working with young people. The training covers such topics as adolescent development, de-escalation techniques, and suicide prevention. There are social workers and a medical psychologist on staff. When youth arrive at YSC, there is a comprehensive intake specifically designed for youth. It includes mental health screening, risk assessment, and an education assessment. This ensures youth and staff safety and enables the facility to better meet the needs of the youth. It helps, for example, to identify suicide risks, avoid delays in youth receiving necessary medication, and ensure appropriate education placement.44

YSC is a new, secure facility that was designed and built with dedicated education, programming, and indoor- and outdoor-recreation space.

Facility

Seven years ago, the Juvenile Justice Project of Louisiana – the policy reform and impact litigation arm of the Louisiana Center for Children’s Rights – sued the City of New Orleans, arguing that YSC inflicted unconstitutional conditions of confinement on children. In response, a new facility was built, a new leadership team was hired, and both staffing and programming were completely revamped. The results speak for themselves. The federal litigation has concluded, and while YSC continues to face some challenges, it is light-years ahead of OPP:

But all of that can be done affordably at YSC.

The OPP federal consent decree requires “developmentally appropriate mental health and programming services” for children at the jail. Building and implementing the structures and programming to meet those requirements in the jail will be costly – and it might never happen properly because OPP lacks expertise in giving children the developmental supports that they need.

We believe the best solutions come from a collaborative, interactive process led by the designers that involves all stake-holders, design team members, contractors and specialty consultants. Our approach includes an inclusive process where CCC board members, staff, user groups are invited to participate in the design process through a CCC design charrette. We are well versed at techniques for generating ideas in such settings including on-site visualizations. Additionally, our team meets with staff, custodial services and landscaper to review design solutions prior to finalizing our design.

Inclusive Design Process

The RdlR + EIT team is uniquely qualified to respond to CCC needs. RdlR’s experience in community centers, senior care facilities and auditorium design is augmented with EIT’s hands-on knowledge of the CCC current facility and cultural influences. Our approach to this project includes: an inclusive design process; unique considerations for senior centers and auditorium spaces; and design considerations important to non-profit organizations.

The following is a list of five completed or on-going projects.

Schedule Recovery at HCC SE Learning HUB: While reviewing the critical path schedule for HCCS SE Hub Learning Center, it was determined that the specified curtain wall system would be delayed due to production schedule. On its initiative, RdlR evaluated alternate curtain wall systems and worked with vendors to modify standard details to meet project requirements and project schedule.

Delays can also occur during construction. RdlR recognizes that as project architects we can greatly assist the contractor in schedule recovery. If required the firm will reduce submittal response time; evaluate alternate products that have less led time; consider alternate construction sequencing or systems to reduce time.

- Tim Richard, AIA Sr. Project Manager, Gilbane Building Company

“During the design of John H. Reagan High School, the cost estimate at the fifty percent CD phase of the project indicated a cost overrun. Within one week, RdlR was able to bring the project in budget by reconfiguring a classroom building and using a preengineered metal building for vocational classrooms. This was a brilliant recommendation, the result was an efficient cost effective project which improved the campus plan and was embraced by the school administration, code officials, and community. RdlR’s quick response and creative solutions enabled the project to move forward without delay or additional costs.”

We control schedule through strong consultant management and use of proven strategies such as streamlined decision-making and fast-track project delivery. We use a variety of tools to plan, track Chinese Community Center and evaluate schedules including scheduling software such as Microsoft Project and FastTrack Schedule. Frequent evaluation of the work product and effective team communication, keeps the project progressing. When schedules are compressed, we have been known to streamline the decision-making process by Howard Merrill AIA, LEED AP BD+C facilitating work sessions with stakeholders.

Schedules are critical to clients and overall project success. We look at the overall project goals at the beginning of the project to determine if there are site implications, agency review implications, community involvement requirements and any other extenuating circumstances that would impact the project schedule. In addition, we are realistic when projecting work effort on projects. We base our resource allocations on historic data of efforts and man-hours on similar projects. We review in-house resource allocations for projects on a bi-weekly basis.

Project

The following is a list of five recently completed or on-going projects.

RdlR Track Record of Working Withing a Budget:

Budget Recovery for $31M John H. Reagan High School Renovations and Additions: This complex project included demolition, renovation and new construction. Designed prior to world changing events, RdlR feared the rise in material costs would force the project to exceed the budget. In addition, the school district had experience numerous cost over runs on similar projects. On its own initiative the RdlR team redesigned an entire building wing and site during the construction document phase, in order to use cost efficient construction methods.

RdlR understands that Cost Control is an integral part of the design process. We integrate the cost estimator in the design team. We work carefully with our cost estimators to evaluate solutions before we document them, while we document them and as we finalize documenting them. This process leads to cost saving solutions before we deal with post-bidding value engineering.

Maintaining the budget is critical to the success of a project. Quality design is the result of good planning not high budgets. We maintain budgets through constant evaluation of costs and search for innovative solutions. Depending on the project delivery method selected, RdlR will work with the CM at Risk, Program Manager or cost consultant to establish and maintain budgets. RdlR provides cost control reviews at each phase of the project.

RdlR Narrative

Once a schedule is established we are committed to meeting the schedule and use a variety of tools Edward Tsao, Architect to do so. The key tools used are Primavera, Microsoft Project and FastTrack software packages. RdlR Associate Architect aggressively monitoring the schedule throughout the project making adjustments without impacting client move-in dates. We clearly communicate expectations to entire project team and maintain an issues tracking RdlR + EIT system that lists issues, critical resolution dates, and documents their resolutions. When schedules change, Team Organization & Experience RdlR works with the design team, owner and contractors to recover the schedule. We have been known to Daniel Ortiz Team Members - Firmstreamline Profiles the decision-making process with stakeholders through workshops, phase document delivery and Project Manager - Design / Prime Architect additional staffing resources to the project.

TATYANA MORACZEWSKI | AHST 5110 | PROFESSOR AMMAR ELOUEINI | CASE STUDIES

As a vertically designed resort with all of its public program and convention space stretching across 4 floors, it does not relate formally to my thesis site. However, it is an extremely important study because it shook up the typical Las Vegas resort accommodation typology and redefined the user experience of their function.

It holds its ground as a metro-casino with 2,995 hotel rooms; 800 condos; ample retail, restaurant and nightclub space; a spa and fitness facility; an 1,800 seat theater; meeting/convention space; and a 100,000 square feet casino.

The Cosmopolitan, besides boasting the most fantastical sophistication in its contemporary style and extravagance, it redefines the ideal standards for Las LOBBY ENTRANCE - Art Installation Vegas hotel accommodations by introducing ‘fresh air!’ - the room balconies, poolside venues, outdoor terraces, fresh air nightclubs, and a casino NRG that PARK + ASTRODOME looks out onto the Vegas Strip. By realizing this forward-looking idea, the Cosmopolitan has experienced unprecedented success and popularity with the highest occupancy and weekend rates in Vegas.

A sportsbook is a place where a gambler can wager on various sports competitions, including golf, football, basketball, baseball, hockey, soccer, horse racing, boxing, and mixed martial arts. Although dissimilar to player-to-player games like poker and other card games, the individual/bookie relationship in sports gambling is made social by providing a place for the gamblers to accumulate and watch the game together - whether it ends in celebration or dispair, this is a decent form of loss and revelry for a person.

TATYANA MORACZEWSKI | AHST 5110 | PROFESSOR AMMAR ELOUEINI | THESIS ESSAY

63

A casino is a natural fit for this site – it will benefit from the entertainment centers around the dome, and the surrounding area will benefit from the casino’s amenities (provided by the generated $$$) such as a retail drag, public walk, and improved transit center.

Demolishing Houston’s Reliant Astrodome, the first indoor domed sports stadium, would be a travesty for the architectural and sports worlds. However, the dozens of proposals regarding the re-use of the “8th wonder of the world” have so far been met with doubt, lack-of-funding capability, and voter rejection. In a city where the desire for development and economic gain typically outweighs 24 nostalgia and preservation, I propose that revitalizing the dome as a casino is the only feasible way to preserve the Astrodome and reinvigorate the southwest side of town. Legal gambling in Texas would inspire job creation and overall economic benefit of an estimated $1 billion per year (yes, $1 billion per year), which would move Houstonians to promote the allocation of their tax dollars towards this project.

Tomás Saraceno’s ‘Cloud Cities’ installation was on display at Hamburger Bahnhof in Berlin in 2012. The body of work is a collection of geometric, Saraceno maintains that his inflated shapes “challenge the notions of place, space, future, and gravity.” With these floating objects, he seeks to form communal ground between earth and sky, and the people between.

Initiatives of the Tulane City Center vary over time, but share a focus on improving cities - particularly our home city of New Orleans. Our project sites range in scale from small installations to neighborhood scale planning. Our work is grounded in the values and culture of our community partners in dialogue with current environmental sensibilities and innovative design strategies. Beyond deep citizen engagement, an important aspect of our work is to ensure that the research results in a constructed design and/or advocacy and education.

WE WORK WITH COMMUNITY GROUPS THROUGHOUT NEW ORLEANS TO ADDRESS DIFFICULT PROBLEMS WITH GOOD DESIGN.

WHAT WE DO

At the core of the City Center is our staff, a team of individuals, both from New Orleans and beyond. Along with staff every year we hire faculty designers to facilitate projects, student interns to learn and work on projects, and outside consultants to help us in areas where we lack expertise. Our community partners continue to be valuable collaborators throughout the design process.

We work collaboratively with students, faculty, and our community partners to find design solutions to issues our community partners identify.

The Tulane City Center houses the Tulane School of Architecture’s applied urban research and outreach programs. We work with community groups throughout New Orleans to solve difficult problems with good design.

The move has been a long time in the making and will allow us to expand our programs and spread out into much needed space. The new office will have a full studio, conference rooms, offices, workshop, and a street-front presence.

FRIENDS AND COLLABORATORS: COME VISIT US AT OUR NEW COMMUNITY-BASED LOCATION!

WE HAVE MOVED!

In May 2014, I was asked to put together an exhibit to showcase tsa lobby the students’ may 5th -semester. 7th work as the skatepark wouldn’t be built until the following The exhibit presented research infographics, study models and previous designs, final models, renderings, and construction documents. One of the built benches is included in the exhibit and holds a few of the models.

Spring and Fall 2014, I was involved with the design/build curriculum of New Orleans’s first public skatepark.
