What does the juvenile camp program do?
Some youngsters need to be removed from the community because of the seriousness of their offenses. Probation administers a court-ordered camp program for boys. The 180-day program operates in a minimum security environment. Wards go to school, work on community projects, and receive counseling, substance abuse education, courses in anger management, and training in parenting and job readiness. The focus is on prevention of further criminal behavior.
