What is the main objective of the Prison Reform Trust's 'Out of Trouble' campaign?

• A. To reduce the number of children and young people held in prison.
• B. To increase juvenile detention
• C. To expand youth boot camps
• D. To reduce funding for youth services

Answer: (A)

The Out of Trouble campaign centers on getting children and young people out of prison and keeping them out by reducing custody and investing in community-based support and early intervention. This makes it the best answer because the campaign’s aim is to decarcerate youth and promote alternatives that help them stay connected to family, education, and positive opportunities. The other options would move away from that goal—raising juvenile detention, expanding boot camps, or cutting funding for youth services would typically increase confinement or reduce the support networks that help prevent youth offending.
