Based on the program’s success, KJCC was announced Fri- day as the corrections’ recipient of the 2018 Barbara Allen- Hagen Award, the highest honor given by Performance-based Standards (PbS). PbS is an ini- tiative by the Council of Juve- nile Correctional Administrators that provides national standards for juvenile justice agencies, facilities and residential care providers. KJCC received the award Friday during the PbS State/Agency Coordinators Training and Awards Night cer- emony in Minneapolis. Estab- lished in 2007 to honor retired federal Office of Juvenile Jus- tice and Delinquency Preven- tion employee Barbara Allen-Hagen, the award recog- nizes implementation of best practices that result in positive outcomes for youth, staff and families.
