The Arizona Department of Juvenile Corrections remains
committed to the safety and security of juveniles and staff
in our facilities. The Agency understands that meaningful
treatment, education and rehabilitative services are
interdependent, however to be successful in our mission, the
goal of providing a safe and secure environment for
committed youth in our care must be paramount. Making
improved changes in our Agency will require a team effort
and only a focused commitment on cultural change can regain
the trust of the community and rebuild relationships with
stakeholders.
As a next step toward that goal, the Agency is instituting
Project Zero Tolerance – a declaration that all sexual,
physical, and verbal abuse is deemed inappropriate and
unacceptable behavior. While this message should be
self-evident, it must be made clear that any form of abuse
perpetrated by youth or staff will not be tolerated.
Families of committed youth and ADJC staff who have
knowledge of such behavior are encouraged to contact
Director Branham directly on his cell phone at 602.908.3447,
or send a message to the newly established e-mail
address:
zerotolerance@azdjc.gov, which will bring the
matter directly to his attention. You may also call
Inspections & Investigations at 602.542.5490. Project Zero Tolerance
will sustain our collective efforts so that we can achieve
our mission, “Safer Communities Through Successful Youth”. Message from Director Branham Concerning Abuse Allegations....more
