This interview originally aired on "In the Moment" on SDPB Radio.

A new report explores the unique needs of people ages 18 to 25 in the criminal justice system.

The report, which includes recommendations to reduce recidivism and better support these individuals and their communities, will help inform lawmakers when they craft bills in the upcoming legislative session.

Greg Sattizahn is South Dakota's state court administrator and a member of the Barriers for Emerging Adults Task Force. He breaks down the research that went into the report and what he suggests for future policy solutions.

Read the final report.
