(Your obtuseness is in reference to claiming you are not targeting a specific population for paid sterilization.)
Your posts in this thread could just as easily be about your work with juvenile offenders or juvenile victims. Many juvenile offenders come from troubled backgrounds and that includes juvenile offenders who have been victimized. There are community organizations and people (not only the attorneys) who work closely with the juvenile offenders, spend time with juvenile offenders' families, and in the juvenile offenders' home/neighborhood environments.
But, the points are: (1) "juvenile justice system" within-state and across-state typically refers to the offender populations; and (2) you are not dealing with a representative sample of poor people (the origin of this particular back and forth) and should not support a program that targets poor people based on extremes.
