“You can see that transition that when a kid's accomplished something, what that does for them,” said Leonard Dixon, the facility’s superintendent. The philosophy acknowledges childhood adversity and its influence on actions and responses. Rather than correcting or yelling, coaches aim to change behavior through developing relationships and offering positive reinforcement, he said.
Administering the program in a detention-center setting required some shifts from Chicago Run’s typical school-based programs. First, there’s the temporary nature. The average length of stay at JTDC is 19 days. “We meet a kid one day and then they end up getting released the next day. And neither them nor us knew that it was going to happen,” program director Lein said.
