Last week, Baltimore 360 (B-360), founded by 2018 OSI-Baltimore Community Fellow Brittany Young, announced a partnership with the Baltimore City State’s Attorney’s Office on a program to divert people away from the criminal justice system for dirt bike charges, traffic violations and other nonviolent offenses. As part of the initiative, the State’s Attorney’s Office will refer adult participants with non-violent offenses to B-360, where they will engage in a 20-hour program that includes dirt bike and road safety, job training, and access to STEM education in lieu of prosecution, thus potentially creating pathways to opportunity for young riders in Baltimore.
“I am proud that B-360 is being recognized with the city’s efforts to reimagine public safety,” said Young in the statement.
