Honor jurist Lindsey

We are looking for a name for the new Denver justice center.
It could only be named for county Judge Benjamin B. Lindsey (1869-1943), the only local jurist or law enforcement officer to gain international renown — and for good reason. He pioneered separate juvenile courts, focusing on prevention, rehabilitation and outreach. He fought successfully for playgrounds and recreation centers. He fought corporate and government corruption, particularly through his widely read book The Beast and the Jungle.

Kirk Peffers, Denver
