7 . Direct the County Probation Officer, in consultation with the
Juvenile Hall Replacement Advisory Group and the Juvenile
Justice and Delinquency Prevention Commissions, to report to
the Internal Operations Committee on June 14, 1993 with a
proposal for how maintenance at the Juvenile Hall can be
accomplished more quickly and less expensively with
participation by the youth in the Hall .
FINANCIAL IMPACT:
No additional general fund impact. Funds have previously been
reserved to proceed with this planning activity. On October 21,
1992 the Board of Supervisors authorized the Auditor-Controller to
transfer $95,000 from the Designated Reserve for Juvenile Hall
Replacement to Budget Unit 0128-Juvenile Hall Replacement to pay
for expenses, staff, and consultants for the Advisory Group to
continue planning work regarding Juvenile Hall capital needs .
BACKGROUND:
The Board of Supervisors created the Juvenile Hall Replacement
Advisory Group on June 16, 1992, directed the County Administrator
to provide interim staff support to the Advisory Group, and
requested the Advisory Group to report to the Internal Operations
Committee following each phase of work. On October 21, 1992, the
Board of Supervisors approved the work plan and budget developed by
the Advisory Group, and a status report to the Internal Operations
Committee was scheduled for April, 1993 .
On April 12, 1993 our Committee met with the County Probation
Officer, members of the Advisory Group and members of the Grand
Jury. Clyde Parkhurst, co-chair of the Advisory Group, and other
members of the Advisory Group, reviewed the attached report with
US .
Work has continued according to the work plan. The Advisory Group
has divided into three working subcommittees :
Alternatives/Functions, Physical Facilities, and Finance. The
Alternatives Committee is developing a profile of youth in custody
and is determining what might be the ideal placement setting for
each youth. This information will be compared to alternatives now
available so that recommendations can be made for a continuum of
services to best address the needs of the youth. The Physical
Facilities Committee has worked on population projections and
assumptions, and has assessed the physical capabilities of the
Contra Costa Juvenile Hall as well as other juvenile halls in San
Luis Obispo, Stanislaus and San Joaquin counties . The Advisory
Group will be meeting with Alameda County to explore issues related
to planning new juvenile facilities and the feasibility of a
regional multi-agency facility. The Children's Mental Health staff
in Contra Costa County are involved in this type of planning for a
sub-acute treatment facility for youth. The Finance Committee is
reviewing the available financing options .
The Advisory Group is currently working on drafting a Request for
Proposal for a programming consultant to provide technical
expertise in all areas of the study. Existing County contracting
procedures will be followed.
The County Administrator has secured a small grant from the
National Institute of Justice for this planning effort. Mr.
Orlando Martinez, former director of the State of Colorado Youth
Services Department during a period of deinstitutionalization, and
Mr. Ira Schwartz, former director of the federal Office of Juvenile
Justice and Delinquency- Prevention, will serve as short-term
consultants to the Advisory Group through this grant.
The Advisory Group is proceeding to the extent possible on a
consensus basis and Group members are doing much of the actual
study work themselves.
-2-
Our Committee has asked the Advisory Group to look into the
possibility that program realignment will be expanded to include
the juvenile justice area. We would like the Advisory Group to
provide us some recommendations regarding how this County might
best manage all elements of the juvenile justice system if Youth
Authority funds are made available to counties, much as was done
last year with State Hospital funds . Our Committee also has under
consideration ways in which the entire area of human services could
be integrated at the local level and organized in a more rationale
manner, perhaps focused on a school site. We would like the
Advisory Group to consider how Probation services could be made a
part of this effort.
We are also aware of the remarkable benefits which can occur when
a youngster has an animal to care for, much as what happens between
an animal and a senior citizen. We would like to see whether a
cooperative program could be undertaken between Animal Services and
the Probation Department, where animals could be cared for by the
young men at Byron Boys Ranch. Given the lack of space at the
animal shelter to house animals and given the values for the young
men which might derive from being actively involved in caring for
an animal, we have asked that the possibility of such cooperative
program be explored.

April 6, 1993
To: Internal Operations Committee
Contra Costa County Board of Supervisors
From: Juvenile Hall Replacement Advisory Group
Co-Chairs Chris Adams and Clyde Parkhurst
Subject: Progress report through March, 1993
When the Board of Supervisors approved our work plan and budget in October, 1992, a status
report to the Internal Operations Committee was scheduled for April, 1993.
This is our report to the Internal Operations Committee. It consists of an overview and
supporting details.
We request that the Internal Operations Committee endorse our continuing work plan and
recommend to the Board of Supervisors that we proceed with another progress report within six
months.
April 6, 1993
JUVENILE HALL REPLACEMENT ADVISORY GROUP PROGRESS REPORT
OVERVIEW
Work has continued according to the work plan presented to and approved by the Board of
Supervisors in October, 1992.
Progress since that time is presented in this status report.
1. Juvenile hall population projections made in the 1990 Juvenile Master Plan have been
updated using more recent demographic data and Hall population figures.An average
daily Hall population of 258 in year 2005 is predicted using this data.
A judicial cap of 130 detainees in the Hall was put in place in September, 1992. This
required raising the threshold of severity of offense before incarceration. Using the actual
daily Hall population since implementation reduces the year 2005 predicted average daily
population to 151.
The effect of this reduction on other agencies in the County has not yet been analyzed. In
considering preliminary analyses,a Hall capable of holding between 100 and 200
juveniles will be used and adjusted if necessary.
2. Three juvenile facilities have been visited to determine what a new Hall should look like,
Stanislaus County, San Joaquin County and San Luis Obispo County.
3. Our preliminary examination of our present Hall to determine what physical
improvements could be made instead of building new facilities indicates there is no
possibility of making significant modifications to the present facility. This is due to the
reinforced concrete walls separating areas with a labyrinth of corridors. This will be
pursued in more detail by the Programmer.
We recommend that immediate steps be undertaken to correct the condition of interior
unit walls and windows, and a study of noise reduction methods be made to determine
cost effective methods of noise reduction. This should be in addition to the modifications
currently underway utilizing Prop. 86 State funds.
4. We plan to define what a new Hall would require, how much it would cost, how it could
be financed,and provide enough information to the Board to allow a decision regarding
replacement.A Programmer will be utilized to assist in developing alternative program
recommendations and facility parameters. This was included in the original budget
approved by the Board, and the existing County contracting procedures will be followed.
(A bidding process followed by Board approval of the contract.)
April 6, 1993
5. Work continues to define the range of options available as alternatives to confinement in
Juvenile Hall. Current work is to develop a profile of youth in custody and then, having
identified placement criteria, determine what might be the ideal placement or setting for
each.This would allow estimates of whether the youth now in County facilities might be
better served elsewhere. This will then be compared to alternatives now available and
recommendations can be made.
Members of the alternatives and function subcommittees have combined to identify
alternatives. Visits have been made to juvenile facilities in adjacent Counties, and further
visits are planned. Police from the various County jurisdictions will be consulted.
Consultants outside the State have been and will continue to be utilized (at no cost to the
County)to assist in evaluating alternatives.
6. Future efforts will include consultation with adjacent Counties to explore possible mutual
facilities and programs. We are in the process of scheduling a meeting with Alameda
County
Involvement of the Probation Staff and Administration has been excellent and will
continue to be utilized.
7. Approximately$4,000 has been expended to date.This is well under projections.
April 6, 1993
Work Plan - Physical Facilities
Goals:
• Develop projections of the number of detainees expected for both locked, secure facilities
and for placement in other facilities. (Alternatives subcommittee.)
Projections have been made on the basis of retaining the current philosophy of
incarcerating only those juveniles who must be incarcerated to protect themselves of to
protect the public from them, and those awaiting court adjudicated placement or transfer
to CYA. This is the result of the current Judicial freeze of 130 maximum imposed due to
budgetary constraints.
Projections have also been made utilizing the pre Judicial restraints, which have been
used in past planning.
It will be necessary to select a philosophy, as this significantly affects the facility size.
• Determine type of secure facility. Should it be a lock down facility or should it be an open
facility such as adult detention facilities in the County?(Function subcommittee.)
It has been concluded that the entire facility should be locked, and that a high security
area be included for those detainees who cannot function in a communal living area.
This can be accomplished in the present facility by making one unit with a higher level of
supervision.
• Scope the general layout of a facility to the point estimates of cost can be prepared,
obtain cost estimates for construction and operation.
We are at the point that the help of a Programmer is required to implement this goal. This
was included in the original work plan budget, and we propose to continue this effort
through existing bid procedures.
• Do the same things for those not requiring locked secure incarceration.This may be
either use of existing programs and facilities or new facilities and programs.
This awaits recommendations by our Alternatives subcommittee.
• Determine costs of design of all facilities and present to Finance subcommittee.
Will be part of the work done through a Programmer.
4/6/93
Work Plan:
• Examine existing data to project number and type of detainees between now and 2010.
Test these projections to determine their validity. This may require help from consultants.
Partially completed. This requires development of detainment philosophy listed under
goals.
• Examine successful facilities of both lock down and open types.Work with Probation
organization to determine philosophy to be followed.This will require also working with
CYA to be sure they will be supportive of the type of facility selected.
Examination of facilities at Stockton, Stanislaus and San Luis Obispo indicates that the
open facility and operating philosophy at Stanislaus presents the direction we should
steer. Their facility is based on a 'wheel'design with operations centered in the middle,
and facilities such as living quarters, schools, etc. radiating outward from this central
core. Intractable juveniles are confined to a secure locked spoke and are not allowed to
mix with the others, who have a more communal approach, allowing operation with less
supervision.
This has yet to be reviewed and accepted by the Probation Department and no overtures
have yet been made to CYA to determine if they would accept operation with fewer than
the one to ten currently required minimum ratio of Counselors to detainees.
• Determine the scope of a facility. This should include all necessary infrastructure such as
Court and School facilities.
Awaits selection of Programmer and development of incarceration philosophy.
• Determine what is to be done with those not requiring secure locked facilities.This could
range from increased use of existing programs to design and construction of facilities.
Under development by Alternatives subcommittee.
• Determine what improvements are necessary for the existing Hall as an interim to new
facilities. This should include costs for operation.
Included with analysis of rebuilding. Should not include additional operating costs
except for maintenance.
• Consider renovation of present facilities instead of construction of new facilities.This
should be carried to the point of identifying work and obtaining estimates.The decision
to rebuild or provide new facilities must be made on the basis of factual information
rather than just saying "we need new facilities".
Preliminary analysis indicates rebuilding is not a reasonable alternative. This analysis
will be concluded as part of the Programming effort.
• Make recommendations of work to be done to the full Committee, and then to Board of
Supervisors.
Here we are!
4/6/93
• After approval by Board of Supervisors, select architect and proceed with full design.

Work Plan - Alternatives
Goals:
• Define a philosophical framework for a statement of basic values that will guide juvenile
justice and services in the County.
To be done. This framework should include not only the community's need for protection
from serious crime, but also the provision of rehabilitation services for youth who are
detained. It should also include resources for keeping youth out of the juvenile justice
system as well as preventing recidivism.
• A detailed look at youth in the Hall will be done to determine what types and numbers of
wards would not need to be there if more appropriate placements were available as well
as what youths must be in locked facilities. All services for youths should be examined
including the network of public and private services identified in the support system for
youth and for those caring for them.
A 'snapshot'study is underway along with a placement study to determine the numbers
of youth who need secure detention and those who do not. This study is being done by
consultants assisted by members of the Alternatives Subcommittee
• Determine which alternatives are best suited to those currently held in the Hall but who
do not require locked and secure facilities.
Part of the 'snapshot'study.
• Compare current availability of selected alternatives.
Will study currently available, previously available and new alternatives as part of
developing an overall juvenile justice system plan.
• Recommend course of action best suited to those not requiring secure and locked
facilities.
Will be done after results of'snapshot'study are known.
• Retain focus on those detainees which have historically ended up in Juvenile Hall. It is
not our intent to cover the entire spectrum of help for juveniles, only those which have
become incarcerated in the Hall.
While the focus is on youths detained at Juvenile Hall,part of the effort will be directed to
looking for ways to keep youth out of the system.
April 10, 1993
r .
Work Plan:
• Review alternatives in depth to understand the advantages, limitations and costs of each.
This will require the assistance of consultants.
We are in the process of inviting several nationally and regionally known specialists to
address the Committees. These speakers have all developed comprehensive juvenile
justice systems which include a range of alternatives to detention. We re also exploring
the approach of other counties to providing alternatives to detention.
These specialists are at no cost to the County.
• As part of the review process it may be necessary to visit jurisdictions utilizing
alternatives. This need will be determined by the degree of our familiarity with each
alternative.
We have already visited facilities in San Joaquin, San Luis Obispo and Stanislaus "
Counties. Others will also be visited.
• Thoroughly compare the alternatives to select those which best apply to our needs.
Will be done after conclusion of research.
• Determine what changes would be necessary in physical facilities, operational
procedures and costs.
Recommendations will be referred to the Physical Facilities subcommittee.
• Determine what steps would be necessary to utilize selected alternatives.
To be done after study results are available.
• Gain support of changes from the full Committee and the Board of Supervisors.
