Abstract
In February of 2013, the Georgia Department of Juvenile Justice (DJJ) launched the use of Positive Behavior Interventions and Supports (PBIS) which has changed the culture and dialogue between youth and staff within its 27 secure facilities. The article discusses: 1) The reasons why DJJ knew it needed to change its behavior management system, 2) Changes in state law that reformed the DJJ system but altered the concentration of youth with more disruptive behavior issues, 3) How DJJ implemented PBIS in its facilities, 4) How DJJ developed data tools that ensured that PBIS decisions are data driven at the youth and facility level and 5) Gives examples of how PBIS was implemented in two of its facilities.
