Which campaign seeks to reduce the number of young people held in prison?

• A. Out of Trouble
• B. End Friday Releases
• C. Books for Prisoners
• D. Ban the Box

Answer: (A)

This item tests understanding of campaigns focusing on youth justice and prison numbers. Out of Trouble is the campaign that directly aims to reduce the number of young people held in prison by promoting alternatives to custody, improving early intervention, and expanding diversion and community-based options. It directly targets lowering youth custody figures, which is exactly what the question asks about. The other campaigns address related but different issues: End Friday Releases concerns release timing, Books for Prisoners focuses on access to reading for incarcerated people, and Ban the Box targets employment discrimination based on criminal history. While valuable, none of those directly focus on cutting the number of young people in detention, making Out of Trouble the best fit.
