Jackson councilman looks to bring back youth curfew
SUMMARY: Jackson City Councilman Kenneth Stokes proposes reinstating a juvenile curfew in response to a rise in youth crime. The curfew would keep minors indoors from 10 p.m. to 6 a.m. on weekdays and midnight to 6 a.m. on weekends. Minors breaking curfew would be sent to the Henley Young Juvenile Detention Center, with parents receiving warnings and escalating fines starting at $25. Vicksburg has maintained a similar curfew following a rise in juvenile crime. Jackson has previously enforced curfews, notably in February 2021, amidst a spike in violence contributing to its title as “America’s Deadliest Major City.” Mayor Lumumba refutes the need for a curfew, citing declining crime rates.
