#CRJ107 #JuvenileDelinquency #Corrections

This morning we will be exploring Juveniles in Correctional Institutions, the goals, the reforms, and the criticisms

#CRJ107 #MoraineValley #JVsLockedUp

THINKING CHALLENGE: What should be the goal of JV Corrections?

#CRJ107 #MoraineValley #JVsLockedUp

THINKING CHALLENGE: Currently, do you believe that juvenile incarceration sentencing policies are ...

#CRJ107 #MoraineValley #JVsLockedUp

In 2015, just over 48,000 juvenile offenders were in residential treatment facilities on any given day. The trends in residential placement mirror the trends in juvenile arrests and court cases.

#CRJ107 #MoraineValley #JVsLockedUp

THINKING CHALLENGE: Detention rates have been ____________ over the past two decades.

#CRJ107 #MoraineValley #JVsLockedUp

THINKING CHALLENGE: Juvenile crime rates have been ____________ over the past two decades.

#CRJ107 #MoraineValley #JVsLockedUp

Detention rates have decreased on the order of about 70 percent in the past two decades, and cases handled by the courts are at historic lows.

#CRJ107 #MoraineValley #JVsLockedUp

As we examine juvenile corrections, here is an ABC Primetime look at incarcerated youth: "To their advocates, they're kids. To their critics, they’re monsters"



#CRJ107 #MoraineValley #JVsLockedUp

THINKING CHALLENGE: Privatization of corrections is a controversial issue. Should juveniles be housed in private facilities?

#CRJ107 #MoraineValley #JVsLockedUp

Institutional facilities are secure facilities including: ~detention centers,
~orientation and diagnostic assessment centers,
~transfer facilities,
~boot camps,
~youth ranches and camps,
~institutions and state schools,
~and transitional facilities.

#CRJ107 #MoraineValley

Juvenile #detention facilities are short-term secure units that house juveniles awaiting court hearings or adjudications.

They are similar to adult #jails in their day-to-day operations.

#CRJ107 #MoraineValley #JVsLockedUp

In this episode The Proper People check out an abandoned detention center completely taken over by nature. @TheProperPeople



#CRJ107 #MoraineValley #JVsLockedUp

Assessment facilities are secure facilities that are responsible for orienting the #juvenile to the expectations of the #correctionalsystem in that particular state.

#CRJ107 #MoraineValley #JVsLockedUp

A recent and popular juvenile facility is the juvenile #bootcamp. It is a secure facility that emphasizes military-style discipline, physical training, and an extremely regimented schedule. @CBSMiami



#CRJ107 #MoraineValley #JVsLockedUp

THINKING CHALLENGE: Do para-military style boot camps work?

#CRJ107 #MoraineValley #JVsLockedUp

Youth ranches and camps are facilities that operate similarly to state institutions with one exception:

The atmosphere is more like a year-round summer camp than a maximum-security facility.

#CRJ107 #MoraineValley #JVsLockedUp

Teen camps have become a staple of America's youth rehabilitation system. Does this method work?

#CRJ107 #MoraineValley #JVsLockedUp

In general, there are four primary goals in corrections: ~ rehabilitation,
~ deterrence,
~ incapacitation,
~ and retribution

#CRJ107 #MoraineValley #JVsLockedUp

Let's not omit reintegration as most juvenile offenders will re-enter society after the duration of their sentence

#CRJ107 #MoraineValley #JVsLockedUp

Retribution is based upon debt of some kind that must be repaid; and the offender deserves to be punished

#CRJ107 #MoraineValley #JVsLockedUp

Society does believe in punishment, that causing discomfort or pain will force a change in behavior

#CRJ107 #MoraineValley #JVsLockedUp

#Rehabilitation is defined as methods of treatment and counseling used to reform juvenile offenders so that they will return to society in a constructive rather than a destructive way

#CRJ107 #MoraineValley #JVsLockedUp

#Deterrence is arranging conditions in the law and corrections such that juveniles are aware of the risks and consequences involved in committing crimes

If the risks and consequences are greater than the rewards, juveniles will choose not to commit crime

#CRJ107 #MoraineValley

Incapacitation is the taking of a juvenile out of the community so that he or she is prevented from committing additional crimes.

It means locking up a person so that he or she is incapacitated from causing any more harm

#CRJ107 #MoraineValley #JVsLockedUp

One of the primary goals of juvenile institutional #corrections is #education.

Educational programs in juvenile facilities often serve as the core program, consuming the largest portion of time

#CRJ107 #MoraineValley #JVsLockedUp

Types of correctional education available include:
~ correctional industry and vocational training,
~ specialized treatment and programs,
~ and programs for serious and repeat juvenile delinquents.

#CRJ107 #MoraineValley #JVsLockedUp

Specialized treatment includes:
~ transactional analysis,
~ reality therapy,
~ psychotherapy,
~ behavior modification,
~ guided group interaction,
~ positive peer culture,
~ and drug and alcohol treatment

#CRJ107 #MoraineValley #JVsLockedUp

THINKING CHALLENGE: Is it possible to rehabilitate in a punitive environment?

#CRJ107 #MoraineValley #JVsLockedUp

Programs for serious & repeat offenders focus on developing an integrated theoretical framework for guiding intensive supervision of chronic juvenile offenders

#CRJ107 #MoraineValley #JVsLockedUp

THINKING CHALLENGE: Is Intensive Supervision appropriate for juveniles?

#CRJ107 #MoraineValley #JVsLockedUp

Juveniles' inmate society in which the strong take advantage of the weak.

#CRJ107 #MoraineValley #JVsLockedUp

The quality of life for male residents is extremely problematic. There is a high rate of staff involvement in the sexual victimization of residents

#CRJ107 #MoraineValley #JVsLockedUp

In #RaisedInTheSystem, HBO’s news series #VICE, Michael Kenneth Williams @BKBMG embarks on a personal journey to expose the root of the American mass incarceration crisis: the juvenile justice system @HBO



#CRJ107 #MoraineValley #JVsLockedUp

Suicide is an incredible challenge and extremely problematic in juvenile institutions

#CRJ107 #MoraineValley #JVsLockedUp

Detention centers often provide the first opportunity to screen youth for suicide risk and to provide interventions, yet most facilities do not perform adequate screening for emergent risk

#CRJ107 #MoraineValley #JVsLockedUp

In 2005, the state of Virginia had eight centers like Bon Air Juvenile Correctional Facility, housing more than 1,300 delinquent youth. By 2017, after a series of reforms, that number had shrunk to one

@TheAtlantic

#CRJ107 #MoraineValley #JVsLockedUp

Dallas Morning News @dallasnews released an investigation of sexual abuse in Texas juvenile facilities exposed horrific patterns of abuse

https://dallasnews.com/news/investigations/2017/11/17/fights-sex-drugs-texas-juvenile-lockup-on-the-verge-of-crisis-reports-show/

#CRJ107 #MoraineValley #JVsLockedUp

The overall rate of sexual victimization reported by youth declined from 9.5% in 2012 to 7.1% in 2018

#CRJ107 #MoraineValley #JVsLockedUp

There is a systematic tolerance of those offenses by facilities, state agencies, and even federal oversight mechanisms

#CRJ107 #MoraineValley #JVsLockedUp

Correctional facilities have personnel working a variety of jobs

#CRJ107 #MoraineValley #JVsLockedUp #JVCorrections

Protecting the public and rehabilitating juveniles is a 24/7 operation

Juvenile probation officer Victoria Harris has an extremely demanding job. It isn’t easy keeping up with 16 teenagers who have found themselves in trouble at home, at school and with the law

#CRJ107 #MoraineValley #JVsLockedUp

Our look at Juvenile Corrections is brief, but hopefully a lot of topics to follow up on. I really tried to give a lot of materials to help you dig deeper & spark a greater interest in Corrections

#CRJ107 #MoraineValley #JVsLockedUp

If you found our discussion of Corrections interesting, we have a summer class for that! Inquire with @brian_duffybr about his Summer #CRJ106 class ... on the @morainevalley campus
