Durango City leaders profess compassion toward people experiencing homelessness and a desire to “solve homelessness” in the City. City representatives have intimated that they do not wish to make homelessness itself a criminal status, but only to enforce criminal laws when behavior by unhoused people threatens the safety and welfare of the community as a whole. Yet, an analysis of twelve months of citations issued by Durango police for violations of the City’s ordinance banning camping in the city limits tells a starkly different story. Rather than policing harmful, criminal behavior, the Durango police are prohibiting unhoused people from simply sleeping in city limits.

Violence in Colorado’s Division of Youth Corrections (DYC) facilities has risen dramatically in recent years, leaving youth and staff feeling unsafe and afraid. Colorado’s youth correctional facilities have higher rates of fights and assaults than other states, and youth and staff are commonly injured during these incidents. In this chaotic and violent environment, children cannot thrive.
