Safe & Constructive Detention

How should staffing and agreements with neighboring counties be balanced to use available juvenile-detention capacity responsibly?

The report finds that understaffing limited the juvenile facility to roughly half of its capacity and recommends a plan for additional youth, potentially through more neighboring- county partnerships, along with employment incentives.

Why this matters

A deliberate capacity plan can connect staffing, regional demand, facility revenue, and the quality of care provided to young people.
