Case Management for At-Risk Children in Detention: New York, NY {\textendash}\ 1986 Innovations Winner

The latest in a long string of directors of New York City{\textquoteright}s toughest juvenile detention facility confronts a staff which is both demoralized and resentful of authority. As the jail{\textquoteright}s first black director, she must cope with a predominantly black staff long accustomed to {\textquotedblright}getting over{\textquotedblright} {\textendash} giving less than full effort and rationalizing its attitude in terms of the perceived indifference of a {\textquotedblright}downtown{\textquotedblright} white power structure. Battles over child abuse, insubordination and union power ensue.
