YSRP quoted in Philadelphia Inquirer
YSRP was quoted in the Philadelphia Inquirer in reaction to the case of Zaria Estes, who was sentenced at age 16 to serve 2.5 to 6 years in a Pennsylvania prison. YSRP does not believe the community’s needs, or Zaria’s needs, will be met by the adult prison system, despite the tragic nature of the offense and the devastating impact on the victim and the community.
