Prisons are not effective in redirecting adults into crime free lives. Children are not small adults. So why think that a children's prison would be anymore effective in remolding a delinquent child into a beneficial member of our society.

Judge Ronald Alvarez will speak about his experiences with youth and prisons while he was on the bench in the juvenile division of the circuit court. He and his wife, Elaine, were leaders in establishing the Children’s Services Council of Palm Beach County. It continues to impact thousands of children and families in our community every day. He has been a champion for children in the courtroom and the community giving the most at-risk children a voice, and a chance.

Judge Alvarez had been honored for his service by many organizations including. the Bar Association, Guardian Ad Litem, and more. He is a known advocate in the community for children's welfare and is a frequent speaker and lecturer on the subject of children and youth in the justice system.
